Something nice for the holiday weekend which might bring some hope and joy to everyone. ABC News’ Kimberly Launier was in New Hampshire doing a photo shoot as part of an interview with the Rollin family. Their son Justin lost his life in Iraq, but his dog made it out and back home to Justin’s family. That’s when something special happened.

Who is to say how the spirit moves and what brings grace, comfort and solace to the families of the fallen? Dogs are special, as I can well attest, and they form a bond with their families which often stretches beyond the bounds of “normal.”

I liked the picture and the story, but I shouldn't have read the comments, some of those pissed me off.

I read some, too. There were some very good ones, and some that were tasteless and out of line.

Thanks for posting it, marv.  I won't read the comments, who needs that?

Beautiful photo, hope it brought a little healing to the hearts of Justin's family.
Happy birthday, too. :cheersmate:

Beautiful!
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle
