USO Supporter,

When a brave soldier steps in unfamiliar, hostile terrain, the difference between a successful mission and a tragedy can come from a cold nose and a sharp bark.

Amid escalating conflict in the Middle East, service members are facing intense conditions and high stress environments. Military K-9 teams are deployed across the region, serving as the silent guardians of our troops.

These elite K-9 teams make incredible sacrifices as they help defend our country in dangerous conditions. About 1,600 military working dogs serve alongside our troops — identifying danger and protecting our heroes.

Today, on K-9 Veterans Day, the USO invites you to honor their bravery. Your support ensures these four-legged warriors and their handlers have the resources they need to keep saving lives.

We hope you, one of our most patriotic supporters, will join us in celebrating these incredible dogs and their handlers with a gift in honor of K-9 Veterans Day.

Through your generous support, K-9 teams and our service members around the world can receive care packages and have a safe place to rest, recharge and reconnect with home.

"If you're on patrol with an explosive
detector dog ... the unit also has to
be able to trust you and your dog
because they are going to follow every
step you take.”

These K-9 teams are standing in harm's way to keep soldiers safe. We can't give these furry heroes a belly rub, but we can show our gratitude for their service.

Please, show our brave four-legged heroes, their human handlers and all of our courageous service members how grateful we are for their service by donating before the midnight deadline.

It's through patriotic Americans like you that our nation's heroes (the two and four-legged ones) feel supported while undertaking the challenging and often dangerous job of protecting our country and way of life while they're deployed around the world. Please stand with them today.

On behalf of our service members,

The USO
