Dear Dog Handler,
Do you remember the dogs you handled? I know I do. Have you ever longed to know more about them, or
about one particular dog that you really bonded with? Well, brother, here is your chance.
Please read this very carefully – this is an opportunity that we dog handlers have been dreaming of for more
than 40 years!
Military Working Dog Records Now Available
The Nemo’s War Dog Heroes Memorial Committee is offering YOU the first-ever opportunity to obtain the
information from YOUR dog’s official Military Records, Air Force Form 323 (“Sentry Dog Record”). The
history of YOUR dogs – stateside and overseas – is NOW available to you for a donation to the Nemo’s War
Dog Heroes Memorial. From these records you could learn:
1 Who donated or provided YOUR dogs to the Air Force.
2 The date YOUR dogs entered the service (along with other dates and information).
3 The dates YOUR dogs were whelped and the date and reason they were euthanized.
4 The names of other handlers who were assigned to YOUR dogs.
5 Installations served and other service information on YOUR dogs.
6 Other service-connected forms as they are available for YOUR dogs.
How do we happen to have all this information? The Nemo’s War Dog Heroes Memorial Committee has
legally obtained copies of more than 30,000 AF Forms 323 of Military Working Dogs that served from the
1960’s to the 1980’s at Stateside and overseas bases, from all branches of our military services. These are
the records that they’ve been telling us were not available – for all these years.
The information from these records is now available to YOU - the handlers.
There’s More! – Film and Photos of Nemo Himself!
We’re offering to you a one-hour DVD from actual Air Force movie footage and still photographs, which
will take you from the events of the attack on Tan Son Nhut, to Nemo’s return to Texas as a hero, the
dedication of the Nemo Memorial site at Lackland, and actual videos of the reconstruction of Nemo’s
kennel. Actual footage of Tan Son Nhut Air Force Base is included. In addition, there are three segments
that take you from the birth of the Nemo Project, the restoration of Nemo’s Kennel at Lackland, and finally a
section entitled “Taps” that includes a slideshow and actual photographs and footage of several of Nemo’s
handlers. This DVD is a “must see” for any MWD handler past, present, and future. Watching it will make
you very proud to have been a dog handler. There are still photographs from a private collection, that to be
best of my knowledge, have not been available until this project.
Nemo’s War Dog Heroes Memorial
