How about something great and a lot more fun after all that stuff I’ve been writing about lately? (Still haven’t seen any word on Cesar Millan’s disability, BTW.)

The new September/October Airman Magazine, the official magazine of the US Air Force, went online a couple days ago, and Canine Companions for Independence graduate (and my friend) Jason Morgan is on the cover.


The Airman article was put together when Jason and his service dog Napal were here in Colorado Springs competing at the first-ever Warrior Games in May.

Some of the usual fantastic Airman pictures, and talks about how Jason was injured when he was an Air Force combat weatherman on a Spec Ops mission in South America, something I’ve mentioned here before as well.

Definitely worth downloading the magazine and reading the article:

Outstanding to see this not only because Jason’s a friend, I know his story, and I witnessed most of this in person at the Warrior Games, but because of the increased exposure top-notch service dogs for seriously injured veterans will receive.  That’s really a carryover from the Games – Napal is a wonderful dog and classic example of a CCI graduate dog who was very, very visible here in front of hundreds of wounded veterans, senior military staff, those veterans’ families and friends, and the general public.
