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
