This Able Veteran is proud to invite our community to the Graduation & Pairing Ceremony for veterans completing the Trauma Resilience Program — a powerful milestone marking the official “passing of the leash” from trainer to veteran. ❤️

This event is free and open to the public, and we would love for you to join us. Bring your friends, family, and support for the veterans who have served us so bravely. Together, we can continue changing lives — one veteran and one service dog at a time.

Thank you New Simpson Hill School District 32 for helping us simulate airport and airplane rides for our pups.
