From Senator Schumer's website comes the following statement from Cpl Megan about Sgt Rex:
“Rex and I went through a great deal together and I am just so grateful that we will be reunited again,” said Corporal Leavey. “I want to thank Senator Schumer for all of his help getting this done and made public to help me adopt Rex. I also want to thank Randy and Mindy Levine of the NY Yankees for their generosity in providing transportation and medical coverage for Rex for the remainder of his life. And last, but definitely not least, I want to thank the Marine Corps and the Air Force for bringing the two of us together again and trusting that I will make sure Rex has the best home he could possibly have.”
This Red Sox fan approves of this home run by the Yankee organization!
