LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Aaron (St. John’s Lutheran – Napa, California) and his handlers were honored to attend the National Peace Officers Memorial Day Ceremony on May 15th held in Napa, California at Veteran’s Park in downtown Napa organized by the Napa Chaplains Department. The ceremony included: Sheriff Mounted Posse, the Walk of Honor Rider-less Mount, a California Highway Patrol (CHP) flyover, agency patrol cars, department Honor Guards, Hall of Honor readings, taps, gag pipes, Celebration in Flight Doves, K-9s, motorcycle officers, and special music. May God continue to bless the friends and family of those who were lost.

Aaron Comfort Dog, his handlers, and St. John’s Lutheran Church and School recognized police week by providing snacks for our law enforcement friends, including 911 dispatchers, as well as hand-made cards from our students. They also hung posters and blue bows along the street thanking our Napa Police, Sheriffs, and California Highway Patrol.

The following email was received by a California Highway Patrol officer:

Dear Team Aaron Comfort Dog,

Thank you for all your support. You may not fully understand how meaningful and appreciated your work and support of our officers is. People like yourself remind us of the reason for why we serve. It makes what we do all worth it. It helps us forget the stresses of our jobs.

What you all do is amazing. Especially Aaron.
