Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Army Veteran Mark Lee Jr. and his dog Rayco. The two served together in Afghanistan on the Army’s bomb detection team. When Mark was injured in 2012 it was the last time he saw Rayco. Years went by as Mark tried to find the dog that was so much more and he hit road block after road block. Meanwhile, Mark struggled in civilian life with a stay behind bars and in rehab. Finally, after years of trying, Mark and Rayco have been reunited and Mark’s life has done a complete 180. The two now plan to move to Texas to work with Mission K-9 Rescue. They will help rehabilitate dogs with PTSD, so they can find homes and reunite other military handlers. Thank you Mark and Rayco for your service.
