LES here!! What a heartwarming story!! What a hero he was. He SO deserves everything that was awarded to him.

Way to go Bamse!!

My Dad used to tell me stories about a cat that wandered aboard the ship he was on in WWII. He learned how to climb the ladders to get in and out of the bunk area. He lived a long time, about 14 years. All the sailors on my Dad's ship worshipped this cat and would fish off the ship on their days off so he'd have something special to eat.
