Photos from a recent monument dedication at Veterans Memorial Park. This most recent monument was completed as an Eagle Scout project by Mason Hirtz and honors military working dogs and military families

From Mason, about his project:
The Military Working Dog monument has been my Eagle Scout Project for the better part of nearly two years. Countless husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters have returned home because of the selfless service of our nation’s Military Working Dogs. I hope this monument in the Veterans Memorial Park will honor the devotion and selfless sacrifice of these animals and be a place of reflection for those who have served with and whose lives were saved by these amazing heroes.
