HELP WOUNDED

VETERANS BY

DRINKING BEER

AT

BETHESDA ROW

I know what you're thinking... "Where do I sign up?" At American Tap Room at Bethesda Row, at the corner of Woodmont Avenue and Elm Street!

Between 4 and 7 PM this evening, order a Flying Dog (a local brewer in Frederick, MD, by the way), Fordham or Magic Hat beer, and American Tap Room will donate 20% of the proceeds to Canines for Veterans.

What is Canines for Veterans? You may remember the event held by Urban Country a few weeks ago, when I posted a photo of two of their dogs on my photos page at www.RobertDyer.net

Canines for Veterans addresses three difficult issues with beneficial results for all involved. First, they rescue dogs from shelters who would otherwise be euthanized. Second, they have a program in which military prisoners train the dogs to be service dogs for wounded veterans. And last, but not least, the trained dogs - who can answer to 70 commands - are paired with wounded U.S. servicemembers.

This is a great cause, and you can make a difference in so many lives today - animal and human - simply by enjoying a happy hour beer at American Tap Room.
