Where did you serve and what did you do?
I was in the Air Force, 1980 – 2000 and supported Desert Shield in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. I was a weather forecaster.

I train service dogs for veterans with PTSD. I volunteer full-time with a non-profit, Project Kenny. I see the difference these dogs make in the lives of our veterans. It gives me great peace to honor my son’s memory while helping others.
Why do you do it?
I lost my son, a decorated Green Beret, to suicide. After he passed, I felt the need to help other veterans like him that are dealing with PTSD. He loved dogs, I love dogs, this is the best way I knew to help. The picture I posted is of my son, Bobby, and his dog.
