Congrats!
Way to go all of you. These volunteers give countless hours to their community through training sessions, meetings, missions and various seminars geared to keep them up to date with the latest skills needed for SAR work. There were also a few K-9s and their handlers who were nationally certified this weekend. Good job everyone!
Way to go Kevin.I am so proud of you wanting to make a commitment to give to your community!
