 Wonderful News! A friend of the site, Frankie Taylor Fisher, is out at Camp Pendleton California this week. She is welcoming home her son, Marine Joey Taylor

Joey is redeploying from the treacherous Sangin Valley, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Returning with Joey is his best pal, Improvised Explosive Detector Dog Thor.

Yeah I know right… a couple weeks ago I gave you and an Ace and now this week I present to you a Thor!

Thor, the dog, I mean the god of thunder and protector of mankind! He doesn’t need a hammer….he is a hammer! 

 Semper Fi!

 

 Welcome home, Joey and Thor!
