K9S for Warriors and Peshmerga Warriors

Two items of news struck a chord with me yesterday (Veterans/Armistice Day):

K9S for Warriors -- dedicated to providing service canines to warriors suffering from post-traumatic stress and/or traumatic brain injury as a result of military service post 9/11. Their goal is to give a new "leash on life" to rescue dogs and military heroes, empowering warriors to return to civilian life with dignity and independence. http://www.k9sforwarriors.org/


Kurdish Peshmerga female fighters, like the one in the photo below who killed over 100 ISIS extremists. Syrian Kurds treat women as equals and many of them are fighting in Kobani right now.  More info. on the Peshmerga @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peshmerga   Last night's NBC News featured a female Peshmerga sniper:  http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/inside-kobani-men-women-defend-city-isis-militants-n246511
