Staff Sgt. Stephen L. Prince w/ Beans at MCAS Cherry Point, N.C. Oct 5.
When the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Michael W. Hagee, visited the families of the fallen warriors Aug.12 and asked if their was anything he could do, Wright showed him a picture of her son with Beans.
Please help me get this dog home, Wright said she plead. He smiled and said he would do whatever he possibly could.
Hagee stood by his word and established Operation Beans. Finding Beans, however, proved to be more difficult than first imagined. Marines of 3/25 were hiding Beans.
Finding Beans took a little while because the boys were hiding her. They were scared that if she was discovered, they'd have to get rid of her, Wright said.
Wright stayed steadfast, never giving up hope, knowing the dog was there somewhere. Hagee was determined as well, directing his staff to get everything worked out.
If Beans can comfort the mother of a fallen Marine, then it is our pleasure to help, said Hagee's spokesman.
