Rachel forwarded us information on the amazing organization Patriot Paws:

Mission Statement:
Patriot Paws is passionate, committed, and obligated in our goal to train service dogs that will enhance the lives of disabled veterans who have given so much for our nation, and to provide a service for other Americans with mobile disabilities. We are committed to build partnerships with community and state organizations which will allow us to give back to our community while enhancing the lives of all individuals involved.

They train dogs, primarily from shelters and rescue organizations, to help disabled veterans with everyday tasks/chores/life. The primary training is done by inmates of the Texas Department of Corrections, and the whole program is run strictly on donations. It’s a win-win! Thanks Rachel for passing this along!

Happy Memorial Day! Let’s all take some time to remember what this holiday is about and celebrate those who are dedicating their lives to service.
