Senator Schumer is calling on the U.S. Air Force to reunite Sergeant Rex, an extraordinary military working dog, with his former partner, Iraq War veteran, Corporal Megan Leavey, USMC. Megan Leavey worked with Sergeant Rex to hunt down and disarm improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Iraq to keep American soldiers safe. Both were injured in an IED blast in 2006, and the pair spent the next year recovering together from their injuries. Leavey has yet to be approved for her adoption request and is still working through the military bureaucracy to finalize the adoption.
Sign the petition now if you agree with Senator Schumer that these two American heroes should be reunited with all due speed.

My blog's focus started out as an exercise to help me learn to live with the deep grief I was experiencing after my daughter's unexpected death. Looking back on the blog I truly hope some of the posts have touched other people's hearts who are living with the heartbreak of losing someone they love. Many years later the focus shifted to include things that I find interesting or compelled to share but I have never lost the main focus of the blog--GRIEF. (updated Jan 2025)
