The Phoenix Veteran's Day Parade went great!!! An estimated 140,000 people stood along the 2 mile parade route. We received a great reception from the people cheering and applauding our Salute to the War Dog entry. My thanks to the following puppypushers who walked with our entry. Each guy walked with a dog at his side in remembrance of his dog from Nam, and each had pictures of his dog.

Ernie Ayala - Los Angeles and 212th MP Company - Ernie wore the uniform of a Sentry Dog Handler and gave the crowd a great perspective of a soldier and his dog.

Ron Woodson - Glendale, AZ and 981st MP Company

Jack Morris - Tucson, AZ and Infantry Patrol Dog Handler

Gordon Wildes - Mesa, AZ and Air Force Dog Handler

Thanks to the Grand Canyon German Shepherd Dog Club and the Phoenix Seeing Eye Foundation for their participation and sponsorship of the parade entry - the second year in a row the GCGSDC has participated. Their members are the most gracious and amazing people I have ever met.

We have pictures and I would like to know how they can be posted on here or with the newsletter.
