MWD Akki

MWD Akki/B363 was assigned to the 62d Security Forces Squadron, attached to 2nd MP Battalion USMC where he was deployed to an Infantry unit at a Forward Operating Base in Iraq, where he performed combat operations in support of Iraqi freedom. MWD Akki passed away on October 2nd, 2005, when the room he lived in caught fire due to an electrical problem. He was 8 years old.

MWD Akki was a great dog who dedicated his life to serving his country, regardless of the task requested. He had several finds in Iraq and his spirit was always high no matter what the fight was. Most importantly he was a great partner and friend. I know God has a special plan for his fallen soldier, I hope he learns as much from him as I did. To the soldiers that risked their lives to save his, he will be watching you always.
