MWD memorial
Staff Sgt. Donald Nachand, a 96th Security Forces Squadron dog handler, and his K-9, Jimmy, attended the military working dog memorial ceremony held for IQ, one of Eglin’s K-9s, at the Air Force Armament Museum, Dec. 1. IQ died unexpectedly Nov. 6 of bloat, a stomach condition. He joined the Air Force in March 2010 and came to Eglin in Nov. 2010. He was fully trained and qualified by his partner, Staff Sgt. Brandon Hardy, of the 96th SFS, in May. At the memorial, Hardy said IQ’s name fit him perfectly and he served his country well. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
