Memorial Day

Sparky: We'd like to take a moment to remember the brave men and women who have lost their lives serving the United States of America.

Denver: Then, take a moment to honor the dogs who serve the country, too.

S: One might ask what dogs have to do with Memorial Day.

D: The answer is simple. Memorial Day is a day to also acknowledge the hard working canines that are our country's military working dogs. You can read about them here.

S: There's also the dogs that help those who have served our country.

D: Consider the Dog Tags program, which places trained service dogs with injured veterans. These dogs are doing their part to honor the injured soldiers returning from military service by helping them get accustomed to civilian life again, despite disabilities.

S: Remember why we observe Memorial Day and thank a veteran or a service dog!
