A dog is among the honored guests sharing box seats with first lady Laura Bush during tonight's State of the Union address.

Rex, a 5-year-old German shepherd and former working military dog, will attend with Technical Sgt. Jamie Dana of Smethport, Pa., who joined the Air Force in 1998 and is stationed at Peterson Air Force Base outside Colorado Springs, Colo.

I was on that convoy that Jamie was injured in, we passed right over the same spot mins before it happened. We heard the radio transmission of the IED and responded to the incident. It was a horrible site, I wonder about the gunner of the vehicle, I wonder how he is doing. Any word on him?
