Military Working Dog (MWD) Stones

Many lives were saved by the work of dogs and dog handlers during conflicts. Be it the work of a scout dog, sentry dog or tracker dog – the efforts of these animals and their handlers made a profound impact on our military and its mission.
Placed at the base of the tribute, you have the option of placing a Military Working Dog stone that is 12”x12”x2” mahogany granite and/or to have “one-line” inscription on a 14”x18” polished mahogany granite plaque. Either can be purchased by anyone for Veterans or non-Veterans, living or deceased, from Wisconsin or elsewhere who served as a Military Working Dog and K9 Police unit handler/trainer. It is even a noble location to show appreciation for the unwavering duty of your service/support dog.
MWD Stones are available for a tax-deductible donation of $525
Inscription note: Each stone will accommodate 20 letters, numbers and spaces only, on each of 3 lines. No punctuation or symbols are allowed. Please have your application in 6 ½ weeks prior to the date you have chosen.
MWD one-liner inscriptions are available for a tax-deductible donation of $150
Inscription note: Each one-line will accommodate 22 letters, numbers and spaces only. No punctuation or symbols are allowed.
