Paws of War recently hosted a reunion event for three soldiers who, for the first time since their deployment, were reunited with the dogs they cared for and rescued while serving overseas in Eastern Europe. The three soldiers traveled to Nesconset, NY from Colorado and Rhode Island to officially adopt these beloved animal friends. Paws of War is also raising awareness about the cost of Paws of War’s mission and effort to return 18 more dogs from the same overseas region. As part of its War-Torn Pups and Cats program, Paws of War recently rescued Ace, Shadow, Runtie and Racha from a military base in Eastern Europe, where they then safely travelled to the organization’s HQ in Nesconset. The four pups were struggling to survive without food and water before they were rescued by the three soldiers. Paws of War is currently on a mission to bring 18 more dogs home safely to the U.S. These four dogs are just a few of the more than 60 rescues of dogs and cats that Paws of War currently has underway around the world. These rescue missions cost thousands of dollars per animal. All expenses are covered by Paws of War. https://lnkd.in/eXZDCGUc #Veterans #ptsdawareness #ptsdrecovery #ptsd #veterans #servicedog #dog #warrior

There have been less homes coming on the market as we head toward the end of the year. Are you thinking of making a move before year end? Now is the time to get started. 📍 In Columbia County, there are 107 homes under $300,000 (-4 from last week). 📍 In Richmond County, there are 446 homes under $300,000 (+2 from last week). #MarketUpdate #RealEstateNews #LocalMarket #YourAugustaHome #ATurnerSellsHomes #AugustaGA

Everything we have in this country we owe to our Veterans. Cheesy, generic social media posts will never do it justice, because we can never thank them enough. I've been lucky enough to have many great Vets in my life. Both of my grandfathers, several of my friends (including two whom I consider brothers from another mother) as well as many clients. Today, and every day, I hope you feel loved, thanked, and appreciated for the sacrifices you made for our nation. #VeteransDay #veteransupport #financialadvisor #financialplanning #envoywealth

Aside from the fact that this should be gender neutral since everyone in uniform can share these experiences, the image itself is a "shatter glass" moment for how I view a military "rack." As a brand new Airman, I would often go out of my way to collect them. I wanted a big rack because I thought it looked cool. Then I got older and amassed quite a few of them. The Air Force has a tendency to give ribbons for a lot of things. I then started to feel the burden of the cost. One set for the blues jacket, one for your blues shirt lest you take off your jacket and be labeled a dirt bag for not having one on both shirt and jacket (actual conversation with a Chief). Let's not forget your Mess Dress, which nearly doubles the cost for one rack because we all want the tiny medals. Ultimately, I was able to get a quick synopsis of a person by glancing at what was on their rack. How many years served, how many deployments, how often did you see combat, heck, even if you kept your nose clean. Thanks to this image, I don't think I'll read a rack the same way. The toll on my family after two decades is immeasurable. I know they are more resilient because of the moves and experiences, but I'm not sure it was worth the cost. While I'm proud of my service, I don't think I'll feel the same about that rack in my shadowbox going forward. What are your thoughts on this take of our decorations and ribbons?

What DO those ribbons mean on a military uniform? On the eve of Veteran's Day, I reflect on this post about the military uniform. A uniform can have as few as one (1) for completing basic training or so many stacked up high that it resembles the station wagon in National Lampoon's Vacation. What they mean can vary with perspective. To the military service member, it shows their service and personal accomplishments to outwardly display the unclassified highlights of their career. As this is a professional environment, it's comparable to an abbreviated public-facing version of their resume. To the general public, it's typically appears to be an abstract assortment of colors to show the length of the journey a soldier, sailor, or airman takes throughout their career; and the only discernable difference is the volume. But, to the families, this image represents the opportunity cost of physical and emotional sacrifice made in order to accomplish the goals of supporting and defending the nation. Thank you to Michael Klemmer for this comically-intended post that contained plenty of sincere meaning to many of us. Please remember that military service is more than "just a job" and how your country would look and operate that service. #Patriotism #Honor #FreedomIsNotfree #ThankYouForYourSevice #SupportMilitaryFamilies #VeteransDay #Salute
