Had the article shared with me and was astonished at the sheer hatred of the replies. Worse, it's not true. The headline is all it took to set them off. The claim: "This week, the useful Warrior Canine Connection program received a shocking letter at the program’s office in the Washington D.C. area. The letter instructed personnel to leave their posts immediately and shut down the program for vets...He reminded Trump officials, “There’s no question that this program saves lives.” The Truth: "Walter Reed National Medical Military Center says it has parted ways with a non-profit organization that trains and provides service dogs for veterans because its contract didn't give the hospital enough oversight over the program. NBC4 Washington news partner WTOP reported Wednesday that Warrior Canine Connection trainers and and puppy raisers at Fort Belvoir and at two locations on the campus of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, were told on Oct. 27th to vacate their offices. Walter Reed spokesperson Sandy Dean told News4 Thursday the military hospital effectively canceled its contract with Warrior Canine Connection. "We issued a stop work order to the prime contractor so that we could restructure the contract to enhance oversight of patient care," Dean said Thursday evening. Dean said the contract did not provide Walter Reed enough oversight over the program. As a result, Walter Reed will restructure its Canine Assisted Therapy program, according to Dean. The government contract will then go out to bid. "We are expeditiously updating our Canine Assisted Therapy program to bring an enhanced version back on-line and apologize for any inconvenience or disturbance this temporary pause may bring to our patents and staff's normal routine," Dean said. In the meantime, Dean said patients who worked with Warrior Canine Connection's service dogs at their facility will still receive services through the hospital's other therapy programs." Even left wing Snopes found no like to the President. https://first.thepoliticalvoic...dry-on-veterans-day/ https://www.nbcwashington.com/...ssues-456530813.html https://www.snopes.com/trump-dogs-veterans-day/ “ The work of destruction is quick, easy and exhilarating; the work of creation is slow, laborious and dull. | ||
