Today-March 13th K9 Veterans Day. March 13, 1942 is the official birthday of the U.S. K9 Corps, and so it seems right to honor their service. They served to save, and they deserve to be remembered! Police K9s, Customs K9s, Border Patrol K9s, Secret Service K9s, Airport Police K9s, F.B.I. K9s, and others are working daily to protect the homeland. Search & Rescue dog teams worked tirelessly at Ground Zero, and at the Pentagon. Private bomb dog and security dog teams are in Iraq and Afghanistan, and they are very much needed, and sincerely appreciated by our troops. And private Therapy dogs are in the hospitals both here and abroad, helping to heal our hero’s. Service dogs are now assisting those who are handicapped by wars, to have a more meaningful life. And of course many of our troops will readily tell you how an unofficial war dog, a mascot, helped in keeping one’s spirits high as the horrors of war worked to depress them. Dogs have provide unconditional love, bled, suffered, and died while serving in all these ways, to include this war on terror, and they have done so in ways that do us all proud.
