Angels for Veterans is a nonprofit 501c3 organization whose focus is service and companion dogs for veterans. Service dogs provide assistance to veterans with disabilities such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Mobility, hearing assistance, and visually impaired. Companion dogs do not have full public access. They are just as the name implies, companions-nice obedience trained dogs for veterans who need the company of a loving, tail wagging best friend.

AUG. 29, 2017 — Once again President Trump has managed to distract attention from a more important issue. This time, it was with his pardon of a racist, octogenarian Arizona sheriff who violated the Constitution in his mad pursuit of illegal immigrants.
Pardoning Joe Arpaio was a smokescreen that does nothing to resolve the status of this country’s 11 million undocumented residents. They need a path out of the shadows that allow them to be exploited by unscrupulous employers and criminals who know they are afraid to go to the police.

President Trump’s pardon of Joe Arpaio, the former sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, has drawn predictable responses. The left, which long ago exceeded its sell-by date when it comes to ideas that work, denounced the decision as racist (that’s all they have) and a perversion of justice. Some moderates, like Sen. John McCain and Sen. Jeff Flake, both Arizona Republicans, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, joined the critics.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Only four of Ohio State’s nine captains went to midfield for the coin toss before Thursday night’s game against Indiana.

When OSU defensive lineman Tracy Sprinkle was asked about the high number of Buckeyes captains earlier this week, he said, “We’ve got a lot of great leaders on this team. I guess it was hard for coach to pick out just a few.”
