Remember Melissa?

Photo by Staff Sgt. Houston F. White Jr.
Melissa, the mascot of MWSS-374 was a gift from the 3rd MAW commanding general, Maj. Gen. James F. Amos. This picture was taken April 29, 2004

Blackfive has an update from General Amos:

Attached is a current picture of Mellissa the pup. She is in the arms of LtCol Dave "Lep" Leppelmeier, Squadron Commander of MWSS-374. As you remember we gave Dave the pup several months ago and she hardly ever leaves Lep's side. She is seen here posing in front of an Iraqi MIG-29 at the Air base where Dave's squadron's HQs is located. She's gotten considerably bigger since I left 5 weeks ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LtCol Leppelmeir with Melissa in May . . .
. . . and in June
Visit Blackfive's site for an update on Lucy, Melissa's mom.

So is Melissa a dog they have over in Iraq?

My husband and his buddies kept a mixed breed while they were in Saudi Arabia. She was named Ginger. They even cut a dog door for her, so she could allow herself to come and go.

They were very sad to not be able to bring her back to the States.

Btw, am adding you to my blogroll :)

Does anyone have a snail mail address as to where my four year old son can send a picture and a bone to Melissa?
