National nonprofit America’s VetDogs returns to MCON to host a panel session featuring three veterans – representing the Army, Navy, and Marines – who will each discuss the life-changing and life-saving impact of their service dogs on their lives and the lives of their respective families, friends, and loved ones. Moderated by Navy veteran Joe Worley, author and co-host of The American Legion’s Tango Alpha Lima podcast, the participants will share their personal stories of service, the transition to civilian life, and the journey that led them to apply for, train with, and live a new life with their service dogs. The goal of the session? Encourage other veterans who might see and hear some of their own personal challenges in the stories of the panelists, to better understand the potential benefits of a service dog, to learn more about the process of applying for and training with a service dog and, ultimately, to apply for their own service dog. America’s VetDogs provides service dogs for mobility, PTSD service dogs (including nightmare interruption), guide dogs, hearing dogs, seizure response dogs, and more to veterans, active-duty military, and first responders with physical and/or emotional disabilities, FREE OF CHARGE. America’s VetDogs is a proud member of Face The Fight, a coalition of corporations, foundations, non-profit and veteran-focused organizations joined together to raise awareness and support for veteran suicide prevention.
