K9 Veterans’ Day
K9 Veterans Day, observed on March 13th, is a day dedicated to honoring the working dogs that have served alongside military personnel, law enforcement, and other first responders. The day recognizes the vital roles that K9s play in protecting and saving lives, including their work in bomb detection, search and rescue missions, and law enforcement activities.
March 13th is chosen because it marks the anniversary of the establishment of the first official military working dog training program in the United States, which was initiated in 1942 during World War II. K9 Veterans Day is a way to celebrate and remember the sacrifices made by these highly trained animals and the bond between military dogs and their handlers.
We are now introducing dinner on Thursday nights! Due to the great efforts of our volunteers, we will be serving Spaghetti with Garlic Bread, Salad, and Green Beans every week for $10.
🎙️Come sing your heart out at karaoke hosted by Ronnie Ray. Everyone is encouraged to participate, but you can still have a good time enjoying our local talent. We will begin at 7:00pm, join us for a great time!
