The Marine Corps made great decision. One of their canines will be allowed to be adopted:
“…On Wednesday, the Marine Corps finally announced Lex could go home to Lee’s family. It is the first time the military has granted a dog early retirement to be adopted by someone other than a former handler.
“We knew that’s what Dustin would have wanted out of this,” said Jerome Lee, the slain Marine’s father. “He knew that we would take care of Lex and love him, just like our own.”"

Lex understands the Marine motto of ’semper fi’. It is as basic as his DNA. Kudos to the Marine Corps for taking good care of one of their own…
