Operation Keep Your Spanky A 6,000+ Mile Journey Across America for Active Duty Military, Veterans, and their pets! A 6,000+ Mile Journey Across America for Veterans
When Sgt.

Dan Spangler USMC returned from his deployment in Iraq in 2003, he was hurting. Dan was injured jumping from a truck when gunfire broke out at a checkpoint. He was sent stateside for medical treatment and soon he adopted a puppy and named him Spanky. The two quickly became inseparable. Dan saved Spanky from a shelter, but Dan says Spanky saved him, too. Spanky became a loyal confidante and companion through years of painful recovery. There are other military veterans just like Dan: wounded by war, both physically and emotionally, who rely on pets for comfort and support. Many of these veterans experience financial hardships and face difficult choices that sometimes mean giving up their pet, the companion they need. Dan wants every veteran to keep his Spanky. So he and Spanky are hitting the road for a 5,866 mile nomadic journey across America to raise awareness and funds for “Operation: Keep Your Spanky” —a new program of Dan’s non-profit foundation to provide financial assistance to veterans to keep their beloved animal companions.
