Sir,

First let me introduce myself, my name is SFC Benansky and I am the Kennel Master for the Ft. Meade Military Working Dog section at Ft. Meade Maryland. I am writing you today inform you of my intentions to dedicate our brand new facility in honor of your brother PFC Gordon L. Currier, Jr. and his K9 partner Satch. The dedication is a testament to his dedication, sacrifice and selfless service in defending freedom and the American way of life. The Military Police Historian at Ft. Leonardwood suggested your brother as a candidate for this dedication. The installation commander Colonel McCreedy has already approved the dedication and I am seeking your blessing and hopefully your presence. The tentative date for the ceremony is scheduled for the last 2 weeks of June. Would it be possible for you and or your family members to attend? I hope to hear from you soon.

Very Respectfully,

CHAD M. BENANSKY
SFC BENANSKY, CHAD (SKI)
Ft. MEADE KENNEL MASTER
