It could be cold in March, so indoors could be best.

Some will celebrate the Saturday March 9th,  as March 13, 2013 is on a Wednesday. But please do something on the 13th as well;

• Involve the Military if at all possible & Civil Air Patrol, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts,  4 - H clubs, ROTC, American Legion, VFW, Police K9, Search and Rescue, FBI, Customs, Secret Service, etc.

• Do demonstrations by working dogs.

• Have a Dog Parade, and decorate your local dog park.

• Speak to the schools about war dogs/ get the kids involved.

• Notify the press that the celebration is coming.

• Do something for the dog handlers in the Military here and abroad.

• Tell everyone you know about us.

• Involve local dog shelters etc., as some mix breeds were war dogs in WWII.

• Perhaps have something like a food drive for “dogs without homes”

• Contact your Mayor and/or Governor about declaring March 13 K-9 Veterans Day in a proclamation
