Handlers from Soldiers 6 were at the Perham High School on January 9 to do a presentation for students and community members at the Hive. Soldiers 6 is a non-profit group that trains K-9’s for honorably discharged military, 911 dispatchers, firefighters, correctional officers, paramedics and police officers.
Soldiers 6 is a Minnesota based organization and they selected the name Soldiers 6, because that is what a service dog has, it’s Battle Buddy’s six. According to their website, these special dogs will become their Battle Buddy and help guide them through the difficult days.
Soldier’s 6.
OP and K-9 Kain, Tim Diamond and K-9 Gunny, Ed and Dez shared their stories to the crowd during the presentation. More of the handler’s stories and other recipients of Battle Buddy’s from Soldiers 6 can be found online at www.soldiers6.com.
The organization accepted a pair of donations during the presentation. Students at Perham High School with several different fundraising drives raised $2,499.76, which was presented to the handlers of Soldier’s 6. Along with the donation from Perham High School, KLN Family Brands presented a donation for $5,000 to Soldiers 6.
Also, during the presentation, KLN Family Brands presented a check to Tom Stolee and his students for their work with KLN Family Brand gift baskets during the school year. The group was presented with a check for $6,000 from KLN Family Brands.
