Veteran Helps Others Feel Whole after Service

In 2022, Zachary Bursnall, of Golden, Colorado, received service dog Zip. Ever since, the veteran has been Still Serving. As commander of the Golden VFW Post 4171, and with Zip by his side, Bursnall attends memorial services, walks in parades, advocates for veterans wanting to get a service dog and more.

And everywhere they go, Zip is assisting Bursnall — even by handing out flowers at the Post’s Buddy Poppy fundraisers!

“I’m Still Serving to educate other veterans on how joining the VFW and having a service dog can help fill the hole many veterans feel after leaving the military,” Bursnall said.
