Wow! A whole different kind of Vet.

Dexter salutes Veterans everywhere
If you’re like me, when you hear the word “Vet” you think of being poked and prodded, lifted up on a cold table, getting shots… but did I just found out that there’s a whole other kind of Vet, as in Veteran, and they even have a special day for them. If you’ve been too busy chasing balls to pay attention, don’t feel too badly… my BF says that a lot of humans don’t pay enough attention, either. I didn’t see another flag out when we went for a walk.
I also heard him say we’re honoring a brother-in-law in something called the Marines (from the way he describes it, it sounds very special), and he’s been to Iraq and Afganistan and lots of other dangerous places. But I take it we’re also honoring all those pictures on the wall… the four brothers from something called WWII… and lots of other people we don’t even know, but who sound like they’re very dedicated.
I don’t get it when I hear humans talk about people fighting and wars and what not. I do understand when they talk about dedication and loyalty and giving your all for the pack. And I think that’s what they’re honoring…
Do you know a Vet (not the giving you shots kind)?
