Cant’ tell you how much I love this picture from the 4th Battalion, 319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment:
SPC Lamme and SGT “Diego” return back to base after a long, hard day of patrolling the mountains of Northern Wardak.
First of all…damn…how freak’n tired do you have to be to just lay down and take a quick nap on a pile of rocks?
Second of all…how awesome is it that the dog outranks his handler? And, in true NCO fashion, SGT Diego, even at rest, is busting the balls of the men beneath him.
And finally, God bless our Soldiers (and their canine friends). I hope for nothing more than for these two brave souls to find their way home, soon.

NOTE: At first glance, I thought that Sgt. Diego was a German Shepard, but he looks a little small for a German Shepard, so I’m thinking he might actually be a Belgian Malinois.

My cousin got home from his 4th tour in Afghanistan last night (back to Eagle River, AK). This is what he came home to…plus 4 other family members…

He is in fact a german shepard just a smaller one
Thanks for the reply, SPC Lamme.
Stay safe, brother, and get home as quickly as possible. And make sure Sgt Diego makes it with you.
Thank you Robbie. I made it home safe and sound (in one piece). SSG Diego should be back with Vohn Licke Kennels in Indiana. I loved that dog with all my heart and wish that we never had to part. He was my best friend all deployment and I will never forget that furry guy.
Thanks for the update, Sergeant. Glad you and Diego both made it home safely.
Oh, and congrats to you and Diego both on your well-deserved promotions.
Great photo and your service is appreciated. You family back home loves you and respects all that you do.
Sgt Diego&SPC Lamme- a sincere thank you for your service! I will keep you both in my prayers.
