Military Channel- Dog night

Ruthie · 11-15-2009, 08:16 PM

Tonight must be dog night on the Military channel. From their web page...

9:00 PM EST- War Dogs of the Pacific
The story of the U.S. Marine war dog platoons of World War II. Filled with tales of devotion, bravery and sacrifice, follow the men and their dogs through training and into combat, from the invasion of Guam to operations on Saipan, Okinawa and Iwo Jima.

10:00 PM EST- No Dog Left Behind
A documentary about soldiers with very different and powerfully moving experiences who rescued dogs in Iraq, developed intense bonds, and managed, against nearly insurmountable odds, to arrange their safe passage to the United States.

I am getting my tissue box ready.

Thank you for posting this! I've been wanting to see War Dogs of the Pacific but we didn't have military channel then, we do now! Yay!

I'm going to cry, aren't I?

One book that made me get out the tissues was A Soldier's Best Friend: Scout Dogs and their Handlers in the Vietnam War by John C. Burnam, but it was a GREAT book.

Oh thanks Kelly! I think that book will make a great Xmas present for the DH. He loves war stuff, I think he would really like that (then I'd steal it!)

It's showing twice out here-first time at 6:00 in ten minutes.

War Dogs of the Pacific is amazing. Yes, get your tissues! I'll have to DVR the other one.

Our Direct TV menu says War Dogs... is on from now until 11:00 EST. It doesn't show when "No Dogs Left Behind" is on, but they have been running promos for it all day. Hmmm...

OK, I only made it through 30 minutes, and I am sobbing. Can't finish watching. Someone tell me how it the rest is...
