Some things are worth fighting for...

My husband Herman Burnett is a police officer at Lambert – St. Louis International Airport. He is assigned to the Canine Unit and has a bomb dog partner, July. July lives with us and is a part of our family.

Herman is retiring in January 2010 after 36 with the City of St. Louis , the last 31 with the Lambert Airport Police Department, the last 15 years assigned to the Canine Division as a bomb dog handler.

Canine July belongs to the Federal Government, specifically TSA (Transportation Security Administration). Herman would like July, who will turn 6 in January, to be retired with him.

Instead of retiring July, personnel at Lackland AFB want to have July shipped back to the kennels there, to eventually be paired with another handler located in another city.

This decision has totally devastated Herman and our family.

We are hoping to reach someone who can help Officer Burnett keep his canine partner. If you know something, anything, anyone (maybe a friend in Washington D.C. ;) we would be forever grateful for your assistance!

Reimbursing TSA for July is an option!!

Officer Burnett proudly served his country in the armed forces. He has over 31 years in Law Enforcement. His only wish is to have July retired to him.

Also see the ABOUT ME for more on July.

Can you or do you know someone who would be willing to help us, please contact us at myjuly@att.net and we will get right back to you! Thanks so much for reading!
