VFW Calls for Stories of Veterans #StillServing with Support Dogs
The campaign highlights veterans who are giving back to their community with their support dogs.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) launched the #StillServing campaign in February 2020 to bring attention to and honor the continued commitment and sacrifice of America’s veterans. For some of those men and women, dogs have played – or continue to play – an important role. The VFW wants to share their stories.
The VFW urges all veterans who have experiences with service dogs, working dogs, therapy dogs and emotional support dogs to submit a brief story through the #StillServing website at todaysvfw.org.
Dogs often have a special bond with humans and are even called ‘man’s best friend’ because they mean so much to us. Veterans value the experiences they have with dogs whether that’s as a service member or in the workplace or their personal lives after transitioning out of the military.
This new initiative is seeking a wide range of stories including, but not limited to:
