Recently I saw a funeral for a fallen service woman on the news. The mother of the service woman was upset not only by the loss of her child but also the lack of reporting of people serving overseas.  I must confess to not thinking of our service men and women on a regular basis and am grateful for these reminders.

Thanks to the efforts of former veterans and non profit organizations there is assistance for disabled Veterans who are transitioning back to civilian life. But much more funding and support is needed.  Irvin Stovroff, a World War II veteran has been instrumental in pushing for legislation now before Congress: The Wounded Warrior K-9 Corps Act. And Senator Al Franken (D-MN) introduced a bill: Service Dogs for Veterans Act. If interested in supporting this legislation please do contact your local representatives.

Many thanks to our service men and women overseas and those veterans who are back home.  Thanks also to the service dogs who provide unconditional love, companionship and support.
