K-9 Veterans Day Ideas for March 13
They Served to Save, they Deserve to be Remembered.
Celebrate K-9 Veterans Day. It could be cold in March, so indoors may be best.
Some will celebrate Saturday, March 9, as March 13 is on a Wednesday. But please do something on the 13 as well.
Involve the military if at all possible and Civil Air Patrol, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4 - H clubs, ROTC, American Legion, VFW, Police K9, Search and Rescue, FBI, Customs, Secret Service, etc.

Here are some things you could do to celebrate:
- Do demonstrations by working dogs.
- Have a Dog Parade, and decorate your local dog park.
- Speak to the schools about war dogs/ get the kids involved.
- Notify the press that the celebration is coming.
- Do something for the dog handlers in the military here and abroad.
- Tell everyone you know about us.
- Involve local dog shelters etc., as some mix breeds were war dogs in WWII.
- Perhaps have something like a food drive for “dogs without homes.”
- Contact your Mayor and/or Governor about declaring March 13 K-9 Veterans Day in a proclamation.
