Military dog awarded highest honor

[Catherine]

I   find that Wikipedia usually has the basic information about almost any subject. I use them a lot so when they were doing their fundraising, I sent them some money. It is only fair, I use the site for many things.

Simon was a brave cat and he would have helped with rodent problems. Ships can be plagued by rats and mice. I some ways plagued is the right word.
I found a follow up article about the animals that received the Dikin Medal.

I think we will never know about Colonel. We will know it is over when enough time passes that he would have died of old age.

That is the best we are going to get. I am disappointed in the military for not fighting to get him back. There is a chance they know more than they are telling us. Colonel deserves a medal too. His sacrifice should be recognized.
