After reading this issue which is dedicated to the NEADS - Canines for Combat Veterans program, we hope you'll be inspired to support this worthy cause.  We will soon be printing postcards featuring Paula Visnoski's portrait of "Dango" to help raise funds for a service dog for Marissa (photo above) - another double-amputee wounded by an IED while serving as an MP in Iraq.  Service dogs are $20K each (and worth every penny).
