On Saturday, October 7th, LCC Kare 9® Military Ministry Dog Nigel (LCC Staff) and his veteran handler participated in the Fire Safety Event at the Home Depot in Countryside, Illinois. Firefighters and visitors alike were happy to meet and love Kare 9 Nigel. We also saw a demonstration of how firefighters remove a person from a car involved in a serious accident.

Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport (AM) - Wisconsin
Dulles International Airport - VirginiaLCC Kare 9® Military Ministry Dogs Amos (Our Savior's Way - Ashburn, Virginia) and LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Kezia (Emmanuel - Baltimore, Maryland) arrived at Dulles International Airport to greet the veterans arriving from Wisconsin. Our Savior's Way congregation members were invited to join the LCC K-9 Comfort Dog ministry teams, and several families and veterans came out for this special event. Honor Flight veterans do not know there will be a welcome waiting for them when they arrive to visit the memorials in D.C. This surprise makes for an emotional arrival as we are present to provide the love and appreciation that our nation's heroes genuinely deserve. The handlers and ministry partners offered hugs or handshakes, smiles, and cheers to each of the 221 WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans. As Amos and Kezia's teams thanked them for their service and connected in a veteran-to-veteran moment, the veterans and their guardians experienced God's love through our presence. Many of them sincerely thanked the LCC K-9 Comfort Dog ministry teams for being there, while others struggled with emotions as we honored their service and sacrifice.
