.This is a great story worth reading. Made me cry.They told me the big black Lab name was Reggie, as I looked at him lying in his pen. The shelter was clean, no-kill, and the people really friendly. Id only been in the area for six months, but everywhere I went in the small college town, people were welcoming and open. Everyone waves when you pass them on the street. loved me If I have to give up Tank to keep those terrible people from coming to the US I am glad to have done so. He is my example of service and of love. I hope I honored him by my service to my country and comrades.All right, thats enough. I deploy this evening and have to drop this letter off at the shelter. Maybe I'll peek in on him and see if he finally got that third tennis ball in his mouth.Good luck with Tank. Give him a good home, and give him an extra kiss goodnight - every night - from me.Thank you, Paul Mallory __I folded the letter and slipped it back in the envelope.

Local kid, killed in Iraq a few months ago and posthumously earning the Silver Star when he gave his life to save three buddies. Flags had been at half-mast all summer.I leaned forward in my chair and rested my elbows on my knees, staring at the dog.Hey, Tank,I said quietly.The dogs head whipped up, his ears cocked and his eyes bright.

I stroked his ears, rubbed his shoulders, buried my face into his scruff and hugged him Its me now, Tank, just you and me. Your old pal gave you to me. Tank reached up and licked my cheek.So whatdaya say we play some ball?” His ears perked again.Yeah? Ball? You like that? Ball? Tank tore from my hands and disappeared into the next room. And when he came back, he had three tennis balls in his mouth

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
