VETERAN AND MILITARY SUPPORT

Veterans and Military Support:

The VMS program oversees the Military Assistance Program (MAP), the Adopt-a-Unit Program, Unmet Needs program and the VFW’s "Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship”.  We also oversee the donations which go to the VMS programs which provide the monetary support for most of these programs.  One of the other ways we earn money for these programs is by selling pins which you will see shortly at one of your district meetings.

Dog T.A.G.S

Is a service dog organization out of Mechanicsburg Pa. 

 Dog T.A.G.S. (Train Assist Guide Serve), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is a service dog owner training program for veterans suffering from service-connected PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), and/or TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). The veteran trains his/her personal dog with the help of experienced dog trainers. We have veterans who have served in conflicts ranging from Vietnam to present day Iraq and Afghanistan.

Dog T.A.G.S. was incorporated on December 6, 2012. The Founders of the organization were veterans suffering from service-connected PTSD who knew the need for a program like this to help them heal. The program meets weekly. The veterans have the opportunity to share their thoughts in a group setting and then train their dogs to become their service dogs with qualified trainers to instruct and review training tasks.
The Dog T.A.G.S. program is entirely staffed by unpaid volunteers.  Each training program has at least one qualified trainer present to discuss any of the veteran's needs. We are always accepting donations. Please contact us for more information. Click here
