I am all for a memorial for war dogs. All courage comes from love. What can we do to help?

Yet another thing to bump into and trip over in the national mall or vicinity. If veterans and veteranarians want a monument to the real dogs of war, then buy an affordable plot of land, commission a statue to be placed there, open it to the public, and hope that passersby won't let their mutts urinate on it.

The government doesn't need to be involved. Nor do taxpayers, regardless of how grateful they are to veterans. We owe to those who sacrifice life and limb only what they have lost to the extent that we can repay them. Any able person who needs the state to cater to their every whim doesn't appreciate what liberty is.

You should aspire to be a dog yourself.

legislation that would create a privately funded memorial

Where is the problem?

I visited a museum at an Air Force Base near Riverside, CA (sorry, I can’t recall the name of the base...)and there is a monument to War Dogs there.

Ain’t no need for legislation, period. Congress still owes us a flat tax, real immigration reform, and it has a long list of laws to repeal. They don’t have time for this crap.

I have to agree with you.
There are more serious issues which need the politico's attention.

Now, are you a dog person, or a cat person?

I would be willing to donate for this. Maybe it would give the folks on Capital Hill something to vote on that they can agree on.
