Too cute not to share.

Today we remember our veterans and the animals who bravely served by their side. Mules carried artillery, horses transported troops and hauled field guns, pigeo...ns delivered crucial messages, cats served as companions and kept ships free of vermin, and dogs have served as messengers, medical assistants, bomb detectors and search and rescue workers. We remember. #WeRemember #AnimalsInWar
