Happy 16th Birthday, Java!

Rescued in 2010 at a dusty checkpoint in Kabul, Afghanistan, Java has traveled the world alongside those who serve. From Ghana to Senegal to Kenya to the United States, she has been a steadfast companion to wildlife Rangers, law enforcement personnel, and military professionals operating in some of the world's most challenging environments.

With over 100 flights to her name, a proven preference for riding the bow in a kayak, and an unwavering affection for those in uniform, Java embodies the spirit of loyalty and resilience.

Here's to you, Java—and to many more years of extraordinary adventures.
