Lex's Retirement and Adoption Ceremony

The first of three videos to come. This is the footage shot of the actual retirement and adoption of Lex. Although the video is property of the Lee family, I can not take credit for shooting the ceremony (I had to sit with the family up front).
A couple of Marine PFCs were kind enough to tape the ceremony instead. Their hands where a little shaky and there are a couple of places that they just decided to stop filming, (like cutting the camera off in the middle of the Lex being handed over to the Lee family) but its all good. We got the day on tape and thats all that matters.
There will be three videos total.

Lex's New Missions

Lex and Cpl Lee's family are now on a new mission. To help aid in their healing of the loss of their son and brother, they are going to try and help other vets and their families as well. Lex and the Lee family's testimony will be a tool to help other veterans who where wounded in combat and to also help the families who have lost a loved one in combat. The sacrifices made by our service men and women and their families should not be forgotten.

Lex's new missions will be posted at www.k9mission119lex.blogspot.com
