East TN veterans foundation organizing ‘War Dog Memorial March’ on Sunday
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Veterans Heritage Site Foundation is hosting an event on Sunday meant to bring out pets and their owners to walk a mile while learning about “war dogs.”
The War Dog Memorial March is expected to be at Pellissippi State Community College's Hardin Valley Campus, starting at 1:30 p.m. The event takes participants on a walking loop around a lake while teaching them about “war dogs” and the foundation's plans to honor them.
The registration fee is for dogs participating in the event, who also get a free event bandana. Humans can walk the loop for free, and shirts will be available to buy on-site. Proceeds go towards building a Military Working Dog Heritage Museum and the commissioning of a War Dog Monument at French Broad Veterans Park.
