Patrick Adams congratulates retired military working dog, Patti after her award ceremony Oct. 24 on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, Okinawa, Japan. Patti received an award for bravely serving as a combat tracking dog during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2007. Military working dogs support a vast array of missions across the United States and abroad. Each is evaluated and chosen in youth and trained according to his or her strengths and abilities. When the dogs pass the primary age of service, they are retired and some are adopted by handlers or other owners. Today, Patti resides with her former handler and current owner, James Altman, the installation chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear defense officer on Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, who hails from Sebring, Florida. Adams is the installations protection officer of Marine Corps Air Station Futenma.
