– Memorial Day 2024
Sammy put smiles on millions of faces around the world. He lifted people’s spirits from all walks of life. His alter ego, Dr. Harp Seal had the same effect on people. So much so, Sammy caught the attention of the United States Army. And most particularly, the attention of retired veteran, Enrico Dexter.
Mr. Dexter put in a request for the US Army to customize a soldier uniform for Sammy. I am pretty sure that Sammy is the only 10 pound Pomeranian to ever be inducted into the United States Army. I was so proud of my boy and grateful to Soldier Dexter. It was an incredible moment and honor for the Everybody Loves Sammy Community.
Only once in a thousand years or so do we get to hear a Mozart or see a Picasso or read a Shakespeare. Sammy was one of them. (Quote from Billy Crystal on Muhammad Ali).
In Observance of Memorial Day, the DriveWithCompassion.com and Everybody Loves Sammy online communities salute Mr. Enrico Dexter, Army dog Sammy and to all members of the military, who are serving, have served and those who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms today.
Nice to see this picture of Sammy wearing the Army Uniform. This uniform was made only for Sammy, here at Ft Rucker(Ft Novosel now) Military base in Alabama. The idea was to have this gorgeous Pomeranian to wear the ranks of the Military and to bring support by reaching many deployed Soldiers overseas. This picture became viral that burst the moral in many Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan by not only bringin them a smile by looking this picture; but aso, making them feel secure and estimulate “Corp of the Spirit” among Soldiers.
