Thousands of candles can be lit from a single cand Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. And just like that candle that lights thousands of others, your support goes a long way in helping us give our veterans a new outlook on life. Please consider supporting Dog Tag Buddies this giving Tuesday through our Amazon wish list link. https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/8A9QXBD22JP #givingtuesday #savealife #helpingveterans
We have so much to be thankful for this year. And We have so much to be thankful for this year. And at the top of our list is YOU. With your support, 13 veterans began their journey towards a more fulfilling life with a canine by their side in 2024. When they begin the program, we give them everything they need to be successful, including supplies to keep their dog healthy, happy, and safe. This includes crates, grooming supplies, treat bags, toys, leashes, collars, and more!   You can make a lasting impact and support more veterans by helping us stock up for the 2025 incoming veterans. We currently have 19 applications in process, and continue to receive more applications each week. Each veteran that starts the program receives over $600 worth of supplies to get them started on the right paw, and you can help! By shopping our Amazon Wish List, your gift goes directly to the Veterans we serve. https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/8A9QXBD22JP #seasonofgiving #thankfulforyou #helpingveterans

They spent a day and a half at our Billings headquarters learning about service dogs and taking the first steps into their journey, including the most important part, picking their new partners! These teams have a long two-year training program ahead of them, but we will be here with them every step of the way! You can be here for them as well by becoming a monthly sustainer!

Have you thanked a Veteran today? Today we honor Have you thanked a Veteran today? Today we honor America's veterans. But one day a year seems like a small token to recognize those who were willing to risk everything up to and including their lives to defend American freedom. And for many, the injuries sustained during their service have now become a battle they have daily, often silently. We lose more Veterans on American soil to death by suicide than to enemy fire. As a Dog Tag Brigade monthly sustainer, you show them you care not just today, but everyday. This Veteran's Day, share this email and download and share the attached "I Joined The Dog Tag Brigade" image on your social media pages to invite your friends and family to do the same. Together, we can honor their service today, tomorrow, and beyond. Link to join in Bio.
A simple thank you will never be enough. So today A simple thank you will never be enough. So today and every day, we honor our veterans and the sacrifices they have made.
