Jason Soliz, right with flag, 100th SFS Military Working Dog handler, stand facing the ashes of MWDs Luc and Gandi at a memorial ceremony held in the K-9s honor March 21, 2017, on RAF Mildenhall, England. Luc passed away Feb. 25, 2017, after suffering from a long-term illness, and Gandi passed away March 3, 2017, after it was discovered he had a large, inoperable tumor. Luc retired from active duty service December 2016 and was adopted by the Montgomery family, and Soliz was Gandi’s last handler. (U.S. Air Force photo by Karen Abeyasekere)
