  • Memorial Day

    © 1999 by Michelle Keim,
    Commander of Royersford VFW Post 6341 in PA.

    As we stand here looking
    At the flags upon these graves
    Know these flags represent
    A few of the true American brave

    No matter which war was fought
    On the day that they died
    I stand here looking at these flags
    Filled with American pride.

    Take home with you a sense of pride
    You were here Memorial Day.
    Celebrating the way Americans should
    On this solemnest of days.

    5:30am the calmness of the morning and the overwhelming numbers of graves and dead soldiers silence in every direction of the peninsula, I was overwhelmed with silence, solitude and memories.  Freedom to think and be grateful to be an American on this day!

    With loving respect,  I bring my dobermans, the breed that helped the fight in WWII also

    known as "devil dogs".

  • This is the movie as a kid that made me "fall in love with the Doberman"…  their sleek beauty and intelligence was breath-taking!

    Not many movies feature the Doberman dog, but one of the classics is the “The Doberman Gang“. This movie from 1972 was about an ex-con, an ex-waitress and a few of their friends who train a pack of doberman dogs to rob banks. There were two sequels that followed, The Daring Dobermans (1973), and The Amazing Dobermans (1976). Pretty cool idea for a movie and I think it be a successful modern day remake.

  • Many people aren’t aware that dobermans were used in the war. Their service to us in history only makes the doberman breed even more special. Here is a quick War Dog Memorial Video for the dobe fans out there. You can also check out this previous post on the doberman pinscher soldier for more information and pictures.
