My Mission:
“Welcome to the national effort to make March 13 K9 Veterans Day.
March 13, 1942 is the official birthday of the United States K9 Corps, and so it seems only right to annually honor their service on that date. They served to save, and they deserve to be remembered.” http://k9veteransday.org/
