Hi Sydney, my name is Maverick. I'm a therapy dog at USO Missouri in Fort Leonard Wood.

Over the years, I've had a lot of different experiences being a source of comfort to service members and their families. They are the bravest people I've ever met.

THANK OUR K-9 TEAMS

I love working with our troops, much like our military working dogs. Military dogs are courageous and loyal, serving alongside their handlers and other service members in some of the most dangerous places in the world. Like all our heroic troops, they deserve every bit of support and appreciation we can give them as they risk their lives to keep us safe and free.

I know you're not a dog like me (or at least I don't think so), but I do know that you recognize the importance of military K-9 teams and are committed to giving back to our troops. So, I have an idea of how you can pass along some comfort this holiday season.

The USO made a really special thank-you card to let our K-9 teams know military supporters are thinking of them this holiday season — but we still need to reach our 150,000-signature goal. Will you sign our card by MIDNIGHT to let military dogs, their handlers and all American troops know how much we appreciate their brave service and sacrifice?

I need to get back to work. Thanks for taking the time to hear from me and sign our card.
