A soldier and his combat dog both returned from Iraq with PTSD — and found support in each other
The Washington Post
They flew home from Iraq together on a spring day in 2010 on a C-17 cargo plane, the dog in a metal kennel on the floor at the soldier’s feet. When they reached the United States, the soldier went home to his farm in Fountain, Colorado, and the dog was transported to the Army’s military kennels at Fort Carson, about 12 miles north. Sergeant 1st Class Matthew Bessler and the Belgian Malinois named Mike had been part of a canine tactical team with the 10th Special Forces Group based at Fort Carson. Now back home, the days were never longer than when they were apart. It was as if one’s existence was proof of the other’s survival. Both the soldier and the dog had come home with symptoms of post-traumatic stress. READ MORE
Missouri photographer allows soldiers to get a glimpse of home
Southeast Missourian
Will Reynolds hadn’t seen his wife, Nikki, or their daughter, Mackenzie, since he was deployed more than three months ago.

Using a shotgun for home defense
By Ken Jolly
My entry into the field of self-defense shotguns is recent and sad. We brought my wife’s brother to our home for hospice care so he could go pain-free with dignity and grace. After his death, it became my task to clear out his apartment. I vaguely remembered he had told me about an old shotgun, but I was surprised at discovering one in the water heater closet. Those helping me clear the house were scared to touch it. Being the only gun guy in the family, I brought it home. READ MORE
