January 7, 2015 - Coronado, CAEA2 Markus Stevenson, a United States Navy Seabee, has developed a specialized glue that allows
the military to adhere award medals and ribbons to the animals who earn them in the line of duty. "When dogs serve alongside their human counterparts in a war zone, they are eligible to earn the same awards," Mr. Stevenson elaborated. "During the awards ceremonies, the service animals really seemed upset when the Commanding Officer would pin medals to their chests. That's when I decided that something needs to be done." He continued.
With the help of a $3.2 Million grant from the United States government, EA2 Stevenson was able to develop a glue which will permenantly adhere military awards to the chests of service animals. "It does my heart proud to know that the furry friends we serve with can now wear their medals with the same comfort and pride that humans have when we tout around six pounds of steal." Said the decorated service member. "As soon as my next government grant comes in, I'm going to start working on a water proof glue for the dolphins that we use for Mine Detection" he concluded.
