Military

I am so thankful for those who serve and who have served for our country.
That being said, I recently read an article about a veteran who lost her dog and then recently found it. There was media coverage and a massive following on Facebook; it was huge.

I want to say that I am glad she found her dog that was stolen. BUT just because she is a veteran does not make anyone who isn't a veteran who lost their pet any less important. I lost my cat, as you know if you have been following since August, and it is completely heartbreaking. When I see things like this in the media and people saying "she deserves it, etc" I have to agree. But so does everyone else who lost or had their pet stolen. Even those who have had their pets die deserve closure. I feel like I deserve to find out what happen to my cat just as much as that veteran.
Again, I don't mean to offend but the point I am making is that losing an animal hurts; it hurts just as much as if you served our country and just are trying to put yourself through school.
