I apologize that it came in 3 parts. Being new to YT I figured that it would post right away, and I could just reply to my thread to finish it. I had no intentions of leaving you all hanging. I hope that you enjoyed it.
I have read this numerous times and everytime I get teary eyed. I know how much everyone on here loves their animals that I felt I needed to share. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

OK we should have a poll at how many got through this without tears! And while I was reading it my Lab Hope was nudging my hand with her nose! Let's hope all the Tanks have their owners return to them!

I cried as I read this. Such a moving story about this person that bravely served our country and gave up his beloved fur kid.

So sad that his former owner, lost his life while serving overseas.

Loved it. Thanks for sharing. No dry eyes here either.

Thanks I'm sobbing at my desk and my co-workers think I'm crazy. Great story especially for "Vets Day".

This is a great story and no dry eyes here either! Tank's previous owner is surley a HERO. Thanks to his new owner he will have lots of love and I'm sure Tank will know what a great man he was.

really sad story read it once before. unfortunately it's not a true story. but still a very good and touching one. someone has a wonderful way with writing to come up with such a tale.

I copied it and e-mailed it to my husband with the subject "keep a tissue nearby". He said he thought "yeah, right". Then he said - "Uhm - yeah - I needed one".
