A slightly different version I'll add this For you as well.. Doesn't matter where "he served", it's what he did that is so striking!!

Thank You for posting the positive rather than always reading about negatives...

He accompanied the bulk of the Polish Second Corps to Italy, serving with the 22nd Artillery Supply Company. During the Battle of Monte Cassino, in Italy in 1944, Wojtek helped move crates of ammunition and became a celebrity with visiting Allied generals and statesmen.

After the war, mustered out of the Polish Army, he was billeted, and lived out the rest of his life, at the Edinburgh Zoo.

The name "Wojtek" is a hypocorism (diminutive form) of "Wojciech", an old Slavic name that is still common in Poland today and means "he who enjoys war" or "joyful warrior".[2] Wojtek's Polish Army comrades referred to his species-of-origin as "Persian bear", and his full name on official documents was "Wojciech Perski" (Perski being the adjective, "Persian", in Polish).

They never cease to amaze me. I've befriended and/ or raised quite a few wild critters in my day, and I've learned a lot from them.

As have I... You may not believe this but it's absolutely true.. Had a neighbor, elderly, living alone that fed a family of 5 raccoons.. She would open her sliding glass door, leave food and eventually they would come into her family room are eat and leave..Often she just sat watching them, never disturbing them..Started with one then the others and eventually the babies..

I only saw pictures of them but it was amazing.. Animals know good people from those not so good....

mayhaps
but he does do some other things
like pick on me(of course a losing battle)
and he attempts to play poker(of course a losing battle)
and he refuses to pay even a little bit of his enormous IOUs(guess he wins there,since he is never out a dime)
and all in all
he's just a Marine(and you can't expect much)
