Mydaddy used to take us kids up to the flight line to visit with the K-9's through the chain link fence. I was 8 years old when I met them. They were stunning to watch in action and I'll never forget that day for the rest of my life. My dad went on to serve in Vietnam and he would write us letters and send photos of the K-9's that served with him. They have always had a special place in my heart and now RAO have one too. Rest in Peace you beautiful, faithful, courageous boy. You will be forever loved and missed dearly.

Thank you for your service, brave pup! You worked that Interstate just like your namesake loved to do. I know your handler misses your energetic enthusiasm each and every day! The SCHP lost a good K9 in you! We know that Mike was there to welcome you when you crossed the rainbow bridge, and you two are quite the team now!
