Here is a copy of my letter I just sent out:
"Dear Sir:
First, allow me to thank you for your service to my beloved country. I appreciate your dedication and effort, and, as the saying goes, you are the reason I remain safe in this day and age.
I am writing you today to ask you to please do whatever is necessary to facilitate the adoption of MWD Sgt. Rex. While I am certain you are aware of his service record, may I remind you that he, along with his handler Megan Leavey, was wounded during IED searches, and both had long, hard recoveries. As partners, it would be wonderful to allow Leavey to adopt Sgt. Rex, and give him his own retirement in a manner he deserves - that is, with a loving, cherished partner he knows, and not be put down when there is a loving home available to him.
As a dog lover, I can only say that, in this day and age of unwanted animals, to have already procured a loving, capable home with Ms. Leavey is something not to be discounted.
Please, I ask you in your capacity of director of this program, to provide both Leavey and Sgt. Rex the opportunity to share their lives with each other, as they both risked death for each other and for me, a citizen who will always be faceless to those who put their lives on the line for my own security. Please, facilitate the reunion and retirement of both these wounded vets, and know that a lady in California will always, always appreciate the extra time it's taken to do this for Leavey and Rex.
I close again thanking you for your service, and for the service of all military, two or four legged, who have served and worked to keep me safe.
My very best wishes,
"Herding Cats"
Obviously I didn't actually sign it HC, but with my real name. I hope this helps...and if anyone wants to use my wording, feel free.
Best-
Herding Cats
Anyone have any idea where we can write to move this along???
