St John’s Military Veteran’s Ministry is sponsoring our annual “Paws for Vets” Golf Tournament at the Coyote Lakes Golf on Saturday, May 11, 2024.  Please join us for a morning of fun and friendly competition while supporting our veterans. All proceeds from this event will go towards providing a Service Dog or Therapeutic Companion Dog to a veteran through Soldier’s Best Friend.

“Touching 2 Lives at Once”

Soldier’s Best Friend provides U.S. military veterans living with combat-related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with Service or Therapeutic Companion Dogs, most of which are rescued from local shelters. The veteran and dog train together to build a trusting relationship that saves two lives at once and inspires countless others. All this at no cost to eligible veterans. A trained service dog costs around $8,500. We are hoping to change a Vet’s life—or multiple lives—with this assistance.

Several years ago a gentleman stood up in church and spoke about veterans and what their service meant to him. He ended his talk by saying, “We may not know them…but we owe them”.
