A larger-than-life bronze sculpture rests at the U.S. Navy Memorial. The memorial is located at: 701 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington DC 20004.<\/p>\n

The sculpture is called \u201cService and Sacrifice,\u201d and honors all the men and women of the sea services, past present and future, and all military working dog teams.<\/p>\n

It is the first monument honoring working military dogs in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

The sculptor, Susan Bahary said the sculpture pays tribute to our country\u2019s heroes and features John Douangdara, the brave lead dog handler for the Navy SEAL Team Six and his war dog Bart, who were sadly lost in August 2011 along with 29 U.S. Soldiers, 17 of whom were Navy Seals, when their CH-47 Chinook helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI am humbled and honored that \u201cService and Sacrifice\u201d will reside in the hallowed halls of the United States Navy Memorial, in Washington D.C., honoring the service and sacrifice of all the great men and women of the sea services, past, present and future. I hope it will inspire generations to come and raise awareness for our great service animal teams, as I\u2019m also doing through the National Service Animals Monument and the Purple Poppy movement,\u201d Bahary said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cService and Sacrifice\u201d was commissioned by the U.S. War Dogs Association National Headquarters and will become a permanent part of the Navy Memorial Visitor\u2019s Center alongside the Jack London Plaque Wall, the stories of service exhibit, and American Sailor exhibit.<\/p>\n
