Our Mouse, a survivor of 5 years of being experimented on by evil humans in a laboratory, now rescued and living his best life , would like to remember all his animal brothers and sisters who don't make it out of those vile death camps alive.

As a US military veteran from the Vietnam War era, thanks for this sentiment.

I know quite a few who've come back from war with part of themselves dead. I mourn the dead who didn't come back and I mourn and encourage those who are living with less of themselves as a result of battle. I recently visited the Vietnam wall... the name are moving but when you consider that the space above, below and around the names could easily represent those who lost part of themselves in that war it really becomes a living monument and a call to action to reach out in love to the hurting that we might know in our own lives...
