Where did you serve and what did you do?

Desert Shield/Storm I was a medic in a support battalion

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

My service dog helps me calm down when I start getting too emotional/frustrated. I suffer from sexual trauma PTSD with depression. I also suffer from severe migraines and fibromyalgia so it’s very challenging for me at times to do things and deal with people. She also helps me stand up. She helps keep me going. I am an active member of the VFW.

Why do you do it?

I enjoy being around other people that kinda think the same as me or speak the same language.
