Today, they pinned a medal on him…
But the truth is, he earned it long before this moment. 🇺🇸🐾

He never sought recognition.
He didn’t serve for applause or awards.
He served because of love — a love that was present in every step, every mission, and every heartbeat beside mine.

When danger loomed, he never hesitated.
He walked straight into the unknown without a second thought.
With unwavering loyalty, he stood guard over lives, carrying burdens no one could see, and never once complained.

Today, they gave him a medal. But I know…
This moment isn’t about the ribbon around his neck.
It’s about the legacy in his eyes — the battles we fought, the lives we saved, and the bond that no uniform could ever truly define.

He’s not just a dog.
He’s my brother.
He’s my partner.
A decorated warrior with fur and a heart of gold.

And while I may outrank him by title…
I will always look up to him. 🌟
