Contributed by Mark - 06:41 6/25/2002
Retired Army Maj. Paul Morgan says Tsunami, a 2-year-old black German shepherd who spent the day after Sept. 11 digging for victims, is as much a soldier as any of his military colleagues. Now, she will be the model for a new "war dogs" statue planned for a spot near the H. Lee Dennison building in Hauppauge, either in Armed Forces Plaza alongside monuments to women in the military and World War II servicemen and women, or in Freedom Plaza. County legislators recently approved a total cost of $50,000 for the memorial. But they approached the idea with caution, not wanting to offend veterans who would be put off by an animal monument. Groups of military dog handlers, citing the animals' use in locating lost or missing soldiers and in patrolling military headquarters and hospitals, lobbied for the tribute.
