A Memorial Day message

Hi, everybody. Mallard here. The ayatollah is busy visiting the Kong of the Unknown Shih-tzu, so he asked me to relay a special Memorial Day message from him. Here it is:

As Pug Life Ministries moves ever closer to its goal of establishing a utopian canine society, it is important to remember who makes it all possible. Without the troops of the Armed Revolutionary Forces (ARF), our freedoms would vanish at the first sign of aggression. Without their bravery, we would all be living under the harsh regime of the infidel Blue Bull, deprived of our rawhide and the rule of Sharia law. So if you see a soldier, give him a pat and a bone -- even a handshake, if his trick repertoire is that advanced. And thank him for all that he's done. Brave soldiers of the ARF, I salute you.

Let me second the ayatollah's moving tribute to our fighting men and women. Oh, and if anyone sees the Unknown Shih-tzu, tell him that Mugsy was just keeping the Kong warm for him and that he knows nothing about any missing biscuits.
