Star Spangled Salute: Midwest Battle Buddies Helps With Veteran Isolation

Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Chip Neumann and the organization he co-founded Midwest Battle Buddies.  As our lives continue to change during the Coronavirus pandemic, non-profit like Midwest Battle Buddies suffer.  However, more than ever Chip realizes that while we isolate and socially distance, that can actually be a negative for Veterans with PTSD.  There for, Chip and his staff have found ways to continue training dogs with Veterans using new technologies, but with that comes a price, so Chip continues to focus on fundraising so he can continue to train service dogs to help Veterans. He’s become an advocate, visiting with policymakers, helping the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center develop a service dog behavior policy for its facility and making connections with similar training groups across the country.  Thank you Chip for your passion and wanting to give back to our Veterans.
