VFW Calls for Stories of Veterans #StillServing with Support Dogs

Clubs and Organizations

July 29, 2024


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:
? Service dogs or therapy dogs aiding veterans with physical or mental injuries.
? Veterans who benefit from emotional support dogs.
? Veterans involved in training service dogs, working dogs or therapy dogs.
? Dogs who assisted service members during a military operation.
? Veterans employed with a police department K-9 unit.

VFW encourages all veterans who are #StillServing to submit their story at todaysvfw.org.
