Taking a moment this weekend to reflect and honor our nation's heroes who sacrificed everything so we can enjoy all of our many freedoms. In keeping with this theme, horses were widely used throughout the military, especially in WWI, and they were also crucial for curing diphtheria (the D in the Tdap vaccine), a leading cause of childhood deaths prior to the 1930s. #memorialday #horsesofinstagram #horse #oregontrail #petsofinstagram #pets #thankyou #thankananimal #animalresearch #animalresearchsaveslives #labratchat #salute #military #honor #supportourtroops https://www.instagram.com/p/CAna_0hnZ3p/?utm_medium=tumblr
