Brutus
I sighed as I was lying, staring out into the yard where my pups were having their first time outside. I blushed as I felt Lola lick my cheek and whisper something wrong, Brutus? I sighed and said it's nothing, Hon. I'm just thinking. I sighed as she frowned and said, "You can tell me." I blushed and said I wish I could, Hon, but it's hard for a civilian dog to understand what an MWD has seen, heard, and done. She blushed and said, "I know, but at least I can be there for you and listen." I blushed as I felt myself breaking down and beginning to cry again and muttered damn it, not now, not in front of them. " I sighed and said there's a song that wrapped up beautifully what it's like
I knew a man, called him Sandy Cane
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero, yes was he
Left a boy, came back a man
Still many just don't understand
About the reasons we are free
I can't forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cried
As he said these words to me
All Gave Some, Some Gave All
Some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some Gave All
Now Sandy Cane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo throughout our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood their ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man
Love your country and live with pride
And don't forget those who died
America can't you see?
All Gave Some, Some Gave All
Some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some Gave All
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Yes recall
Some Gave All
Some Gave All

I sighed as Lola blushed and said some gave all as in they didn't make home did they? I nodded and looked down and said I lost my original owner to a landmine it was my job to detect hidden explosives but before I found it one of our teams new recruits ran ahead against orders and killed half the squad and wounded the rest. I sighed and shifted, and sang
Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the red, white and blue
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16
Just doing what he had to do
He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble
With the smell of napalm in the air
And the sergeant said look up ahead
Like a dark evil cloud
Twelve-hundred came down on him and twenty-nine more
They fought for their lives but most of them died
In the one-seventythird Airborne
On the eighth of November the angels were crying
As they carried his brothers away
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
There were few men left standing that day
Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky
1965, the eighth of November
Now he's fifty-eight and his pony tail's gray
But the battle still plays in his head
He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks
About the Shrapnel they left in his leg
He puts on a gray suit over his Airborne tattoo
And he ties it on one time a year
And remembers the fallen as he orders a tall one
And swallows it down with his tears
On the eighth of November the angels were crying
As they carried his brothers away
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
There were few men left standing that day
Saw the eagle fly through a clear blue sky
1965
The eighth of November
The eighth of November (eighth of November)
Said goodbye to his momma as he left South Dakota
To fight for the red, white, and blue
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16
Just doing what he had to do

I sighed as Lola leaned into my side and whispered I love you, Brutus. I smiled and said I love you too in a way I am grateful for the life I have, but I still miss my old owner and my former team. I sighed and noticed the pupa listening with wide eyes. I smiled and said, "But it's OK now because I have a new team, my family."
