THE WALL OF HONOR

Meet Buckeye!  He was previously owned by his Veteran, who reached out to ask whether he qualified as a service dog.  After Professional K9 evaluated him, it was determined that Buckeye is indeed a strong candidate.  He is now working on his training with his Veteran to ensure he meets all his Veteran’s needs.

We are proud to share one of our board members handcrafted mini corn hole boards and another board member made the bags. These were donated Ohio Veterans Home in Sandusky Ohio. The boards were intentionally designed to be used either on the floor or on a table top, ensuring every Veteran regardless of mobility can join the fun. This donation also offers a meaningful way for our Veterans to socialize and stay active while enjoying friendly competition.

What an honor to host our first Veteran Reunion.  We provided housing and meals. On day one, our Veterans enjoyed a fishing charter with a Marine Veteran at Reel Easy.  On day two, they went to the shooting range and lunch at Lake Erie Arms where each of our Veterans completed the Scorpion Slayer Challenge!

We’re proud to share that our friends at Bennett Trucking–who have supported our foundation by sponsoring and honoring the Fallen 13 on their semi trailer and bringing it to our annual golf scramble–recently hosted a golf scramble of their own in Georgia.  Our foundation sponsored a team of Veterans and covered their entry fee for the event.

Our commitment to Veterans goes beyond just one event.  One of the Veterans we sponsored recently purchased a local historic property.  Because of the property’s unique history, extensive updates were needed before it could open as an event space and small business.  We were honored to help him reach that goal.  It’s inspiring to see this space being revitalized and turned into a place for the community to gather and make memories.

Supporting our Veterans on the Green.  We had the incredible opportunity to meet with the Veteran Golfers Association at the local Veteran Golf Scramble at Green Springs Golf Course–and we were proud to sponsor lunch for the participants.

In loving memory of Kami Moon, a devoted supporter of our foundation.  In honor of her father, Kelly, and his dedicated service to our country and community, a drinking fountain has been donated to Memorial Park in Berlin Heights for the enjoyment of all patrons, two-legged and four-legged alike.

Hermes is dedicated to his training with Professional K9 to become a Service Dog for our Veteran who is living with PTSD.  His role will go far beyond loyalty.  He will provide comfort, stability, and support in moments of stress and anxiety.

It was such an honor to sponsor a team of four Veterans to participate in the Corpsman Maxton W Soviak Foundation Golf Scramble.  Supporting our Veterans was a great way to give back and honor those who have served.

Havok is trained to detect changes in her Veteran’s body chemistry–such as elevated cortisol levels (a stress hormone) – through scent.  When Havok detects the change, she alerts her Veteran prior to symptoms.

With the help of a local Veteran travel agent, we were able to provide a Veteran and his family with a vacation to Gatlinburg, Tennessee.  She was able to find a home that met his needs and scheduled activities that accommodated everyone.

Emma is a specially trained service dog whose job is to detect changes in her Veteran’s cortisol levels–a key sign of stress.  When she senses that her Veteran may be anxious or overwhelmed, Emma takes action to alert him and provide comfort helping him feel safe.

We were honored to sponsor a group of Veterans at the Clay for Courage competition at the Cardinal Shooting Center.
