Expert  810  |  Subject: A Touching Dog storyhttp://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/31003571/?gt1=43001 What a great story. Reminds me of someone I knew in the Army who was equally attached to a stray. It followed him everywhere. Then one day while the unit was on a road march they found the dog dead along the road. He picked him up, put him on top of his 50lb rucksack and carried the 40-50lb dog 6 miles back to camp so he could bury him. Edited by Imjin 2009-05-30 5:14 PM |

Pro 4292 Evanston, | Subject: RE: A Touching Dog story Even without the dog story, this was a remarkable man: Even among the heroic tales of sacrifice of the nearly 5,000 troops who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, Maj. Hutchison stands out. At 60, he was the oldest combat death in either conflict. He was a decorated Vietnam vet with a doctorate in psychology. The father of two grown daughters, he had wanted to rejoin the military after the Sept. 11 attacks, but listened to his wife, who didn’t want him to go. After she died of cancer in 2006, Hutchison re-enlisted, with tours in Afghanistan and Iraq as an adviser to Iraqi forces. |
