Tell us how your dog is helping you continue Still Serving in your community.

I have service connected seizures, and my dog Teddy gives me notice of appending seizure, guides me to safe place. During/After seizure stays by my side until I recover.

Why do you do it?

I led a team of volunteers to clean, repair all our counties veterans graves. Whitley County Veterans Cemetery Cleaning & Restorations. You can follow our work on Facebook. Along with these task we also place flags on Memorial Day and we are a big part of Wreaths Across America, which is how we raise funds for cleaning and repair supplies. We do this to bring Remembrance and Honor to our counties veterans. My or our service is trivial compared to the many in our county that our MIA and KIA, we cannot do enough!
