Tusken's Soldier Savior says:
My name is SPC Jimenez.
I am a soldier in the United States Army California National Guard. I am currently deployed in Jordan on the Syrian border.
On May 21st my team was conducting a convoy and we stopped for a bathroom break. I was taking my trash to a trash can. I dumped my trash and I heard a cry.
When I looked into the trash can I saw a small puppy. I took the puppy out of the trash can and gave him food and water. It was 108 degrees and there was a pretty bad sandstorm.
I didn’t want to leave the puppy behind because I knew he wouldn’t survive much longer on his own.
I put him in my truck and continued our mission.
Once I got back to my base I cleaned him up and made a bed for him to sleep in.
I named him Tusken after our base call sign.
Having Tusken on our base has been a big morale boost for all the soldiers. He brightens everyone’s mood. He goes with me on our long missions and keeps everyone’s spirits lifted.
He’s gotten me through rough times and I times I feel as if he’s the one that’s rescued me and not the other way around.
I go home soon and I’d hate to leave him behind because he would no longer be able to stay here on base after I am gone.
I hope to take him home to Los Angeles with me so we can continue to bond.
