Miami International Airport boasting world's first COVID-detecting dogs
CBSN
Miami International Airport is showing off the first-ever airport team of COVID-19 detecting dogs.
They're specially trained to detect and alert officials of any potentially infected travelers before they board. Miami-Dade Commission Chair Jose "Pepe" Diaz calls the new initiative a "big win for the community."Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
The knock at the door came at nighttime on Mother's Day 2008 in Oregon, where Jessica Ellis' parents lived. It was around 9:20 p.m. and his wife, Linda, was already in bed; her father Steve Ellis told CBS News, that he thought someone let their animals out — but two soldiers in Class A uniforms were standing at the door.
