A Marine Hero will be in Columbia, KY, today, Feb. 22, 2012



2012-02-22 - Photo by Joe Hare, Commander VFW Post 6097.
Another Marine Hero is scheduled to be here in Columbia, KY, today. Joe Hare, Patriot Guard Rider and Commander of VFW Post 6097, tipped us off. She is MWD (military working dog) Beyco. As you can see in the above, she was a Sgt in the United States Marines and pulled two tours in Iraq. Afterward, as a veteran, she was with the US Marshals, once back in the States. She was an EOD (Explosives Ordnance Disposal or "bomb") dog, but is credited with sniffing out an ambush and saving the lives of several Marines. She now has been adopted by Joe Strum, a Vietnam Vet from Louisville, KY. and is being very well taken care of, as well as being a Patriot Guard Rider, member." Beyco and Joe Strum will be here to honor Christopher Lee Johnson, Glasgow, KY (1988-2012)
