Cpl. Dustin Lee was Lex's fellow Marine, best buddy and handler. Corporal Lee, 20, was killed and Lex was wounded on March 21 in Anbar Province, Iraq.
Lex is the first Canine in history to be retired before his obligation to military service was up. I am sure his retirement will be nothing but filled with love.
Cameron Lee, brother of slain Marine Cpl. Dustin Lee, prepares for some affection from Lex, an 8-year-old German Shepherd, while the family makes a stop at the Mississippi Welcome Center Saturday on their way home from Albany, Ga., after adopting Lex.
Mattie, the sister, reacts as Lex obeys her commands and performs tricks that her late brother Dustin had taught him.
Merry Christmas and Simper Fi to Lex and the Lee Family - and all FReepers.
