U.S. Army Sgt. John Nolan, former U.S. Army senior specialized-search dog handler previously assigned to the 3rd Military Police Detachment at Fort Eustis, Va., and Honza, a 7-year-old SSD, were deployed together for a year in Afghanistan. After Nolan was awarded the Bronze Star, he said he placed it in Honza’s collar “since he was the one who did all the work.” Nolan is a native of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. (Courtesy photo/Released)
