DOGS WITH MILITARY MEN (WAR MEMORIALS)
CÃES COM MILITARES (MEMORIAIS DE GUERRA)
11th Pennsylvania Infantry Monument - Sallie, the dog featured on this monument, was the mascot of
the 11th Pennsylvania Infantry in the American Civil War. A Bull Terrier who joined the regiment in 1861, she was loyal to the end. But Sallie was no saint — people say she hated three things — Rebels, Democrats, and Women...
After the Battle of Gettysburg, First Day, Sallie stayed by the side of her dead comrades, till the rescue came, on July 4, 1863; she was hurt and tired, but her friends took good care of her, so Sallie soon returned to the battle fields. On February 6, 1865, she ended up dying, after being shot at the Battle of Hatcher’s Run, and was buried on the battlefield, despite a heavy enemy fire.
Monumento da 11ª Infantaria da Pensilvânia - Sallie foi mascote da Infantaria durante a Guerra Civil Americana. Uma Bull Terrier que se juntou à tropa em 1861, ela foi leal até o fim. Mas não era nenhuma santa; dizem que destestava três coisas: Rebeldes, Democratas e Mulheres...
Depois do fim do primeiro dia da Batalha de Gettysburg, Sallie ficou ao lado de seus amigos mortos, até que vieram resgatá-la, em 4 de julho de 1863; estava machucada e cansada. Depois que se restabeleceu, Sallie voltou aos campos de batalha e, em 6 de fevereiro de 1865, acabou morrendo quando um tiro a atingiu durante a Batalha de Hatcher’s Run. Sallie foi enterrda ali mesmo, sob fogo cerrado do inimigo.
O monumento — um soldado e Sallie em bronze em pedestal de pedra, obra do artista Edward A. Kretschman — fica no Gettysburg National Military Park, em Gettysburg, Pensilvânia, Estados Unidos, e foi inaugurado em 3 de setembro de 1889.

Alert-Alabama War Dog Memorial - The monument depicts a troop of soldiers, plus German Shepherd Dog Little Joe; his handler Charles Wade Franks is one of the men. Little Joe died on February 22, 1970, in Vietnam.
Inscription on the plaque in front of the memorial:
An unheralded breed of soldier
Let all who read these words of gratitude and praise know that tens of thousands of america's fighting men and women owe their lives to the deeds and courage of war dogs and their handlers, further, let it be known that many breeds of dogs, large and small, served our nation in times of war, all going into harm's way with distinction and valor — unhesitating.
Let us not forget these unsung heroes are soldiers, too! These valiant dogs protect our military men and women through countless perils, give comfort in uncertainty, and share the suffering and the risks in the time of war. Over the decades, many of these dogs have made the supreme sacrifice, giving their own lives to shield our armed forces and military assets from hostile acts. Canines in the armed forces continue that noble tradition around the world today.
This monument is dedicated by the patriotic people of Alabama for all to bear witness in remembrance to these faithful war dogs and their Alabama handlers. Those who leave this place should remember the deeds and sacrifices of these four-legged soldiers. Furthermore, see in every dog, the unconditional loyalty inherent in war dogs and glimpse a refection of their shoulder-brothers heroic actions. These teams unhesitatingly fight for right and for our nation's freedoms. Lest we forget, we should hold them dear in our hearts and honor their courage. source
