War Dog Memorials 21: Bristol Township, PA

This week's memorial is located in Bristol Township, Pennslyvania.

The Bristol Township War Dog Memorial is dedicated to military working dogs of all services and wars.  Since its 2006 dedication it has served as the Pennslyvania State war dog memorial.  From the township memorial website:

Over the course of our nation's military history, tens of thousands of War Dogs served during WWI, WWII, the Korean Conflict, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan and continue to serve our missions around the globe. America's War Dogs have a long and legendary history for bravery and courage on thousands of unnamed foreign fields of battle, saving countless American lives.

Some military analysts estimate as many as ten thousand U.S. and allied lives were saved during the Vietnam War alone. The casualty rates in all other wars were significantly reduced by thousands as a result of deploying our four-legged soldiers!
