I would like to extend a special thank you to our service and therapy dog, Dez, and his handler, Kim. For the past two years, Dez and Kim have been an invaluable part of our PAWS team, generously volunteering their time with numerous USO activities, Red Cross flu clinics, and blood pressure events. They also brought comfort and joy while visiting troops at C4i and the hospital, participating in library and school events, and spreading smiles everywhere they went.
Dez often teamed up with Sancho at events, and together they quickly became known as a fantastic duo who brightened every room they entered.
Thank you, Kim and Dez, for your dedication, compassion, and service to the community. You will both be greatly missed, and we’re sure you will continue to bring comfort and smiles at your next post.
