On May 31st, 2003, a War Dog Memorial will be Dedicated
in Peoria, Ill., to honor all dog handlers in all branches of the service, who
served their country.
The ceremony will be at 1:30 p.m. at the Wildlife Prairie State
Park west of Peoria.
Thanks to the generosity of William Rutherford and his late wife,
and their family, the Wildlife Prairie State Park will have a statue of a
handler and a dog.
The plan is for all military in uniform (Vets OK in partial), as
well as active members and their families as honored guests with no entry fee.
