This was what was written along with the picture:
I was the flight attendant on a memorial day flight. Speaking with the passenger in the front row, I learned that the dog pictured, was Corporal Kiddy. She had just earned her retirement after 12 years with the U.S. Marines. I made an announcement to congratulate her on her career. the cabin erupted into applause. upon hearing the sound the corporal jumped onto the nearest lap to graciously accept.
