Last week, LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry Dogs with their veteran handlers, and LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs with their handlers across the country participated in the annual National Wreaths Across America Day.
Each December on this day, Wreaths Across America coordinates wreath­-laying ceremonies at more than 2,100 locations across the United States, at sea and abroad to "REMEMBER the Fallen, HONOR those who serve, TEACH our children the value of freedom."
LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry Dog Amos (Our Savior's Way - Ashburn, Virginia) and his veteran handlers (George Folta, Phil Hetzner and John Kluge) laid wreaths at Buckhall Cemetery in Manassas, Virginia, to remember our fallen heroes.

“As we placed wreaths at the graves today we said the names of those we honored and we prayed for them and gave thanks to God for the men and women who have sacrificed for us.”
LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry Dogs Cubby and Devorah (Redeemer - Fort Collins, Colorado) with their veteran handlers were honored to lay wreaths on the graves of veterans. "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry Dog Jewel (Christ Our Savior - Loudon, Tennessee) and his veteran handlers paid tribute to our nation’s veterans during the annual Wreaths Across America wreath laying ceremony. We will never forget their sacrifice.
LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Luke (Christ the Shepherd - Alpharetta, Georgia) and his handlers honored our service men and women by laying wreaths at the GA National Cemetery. The K-9 Ministry team was honored to lay a wreath on Ray’s grave who passed away earlier this year.

"Ray was special to our team as we had visited often and were his last friends in his dying days on earth. We read the Bible and prayed with him."
 
"For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end." Psalm 48:14
