          It pains me to announce the passing of my personal friend, neighbor and fellow dog handler, Charlie Guzak on September 23rd, 2017.


I just read about it in our Sentry Dog Alumni Newsletter and was shocked and hurt I missed his funeral as we lived in the same city.

Charlie was with the 981st MP Co. in Pleiku 1968-1969.  He will join his MWD Pete-A043 at the rainbow bridge.

I got him to go to our San Antonio Reunion in 2011 and encouraged him to apply for VA benefits.  He was able to get his 100 percent Service Connected Disability after they confirmed his Agent Orange related cancer.

Just when he thought treatment helped control it, and even thought it was in remission, it came back and took him.

RIP Charlie.
