Today in the national cemetery system, neither K-9 burials nor tributes are allowed. Arlington National Cemetery won't even permit a tree to be planted in memory of the four-footed soldiers because so honoring animals would sully such hallowed ground, the Department of Veterans Affairs insists.

To Burnam and his fellow former dog handlers, that attitude reflects a lack of understanding of the extraordinary contributions of the dogs, many of which went through hell for their humans. Not only have hundreds, if not thousands, of dogs died in service to their country, they also saved the lives of thousands of GIs in the Vietnam War alone.

"Without them, there would have been another 10,000 names on the (Vietnam Veterans Memorial) Wall," said Ron Aiello, who walked point on patrol in Vietnam for 13 months with his beloved Stormy, who saved his life and those of other GIs "more times than I could count."
