Whilst researching, I came across this site:

The final paragraph struck a chord for me:

I think there are enough real stories of valiant military men and women (and their pets) without needing to circulate false tales. I think these fictional stories that get passed around as true diminish the sacrifices made by real soldiers. Before you forward any stories like this, I would encourage you to investigate and try to determine veracity. How do you feel about this type of email?​

I definitely understand where the writer is coming from. I did decide at the time to not pass it on.

The story still made me cry like a baby though and it would again if I read it a second time. I'm too big of a softie.

Who cares if it's real or not. It's a good story and it made me cry.

Harry Potter isn't real but I cried reading alot of those books too!
