One of Support Our Troops’ (SOT) favorite charities we support is called Patriot Paws, located in Rockwall, Texas. They have been providing service dogs for veterans for a number of years. It takes quite a while for a dog to be trained, but once that dog picks their veteran, they are together for life.
Recently, members of SOT were invited to attend the Winter 2025 Graduation Ceremony of five dogs and their veterans. We also got to meet five dogs who are future graduate candidates. It was a wonderful ceremony, with the Presentation of Colors by the Rockwall JROTC. We also got to meet a very special new dog in training that has just been named Rhett. This is in honor of our general manager Rhett Hubbard. We feel honored, as does our Rhett, and it certainly makes SOT proud of the incredible work Patriot Paws does for those who have served our country.
