Happy National K9 Veteran's Day!!
This is a day to honor the service and sacrifices of American military and working dogs.
March 13, 1942, the Army began training for its new War Dog Program, the "K-9 Corps", marking the first time that dogs were officially a part of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Military dogs are important members of their units. They have their own retirement ceremonies, awards/medals, and memorial services.
These photos show just a few of the K9 heroes who have had a large impact during their service throughout the years.
We extend a big heartfelt thank you to all of our veteran K9 service members for their dedication to their training, service, and partners.
