Valor Project

​​These heroes are military and police K9s of this country who made the ultimate sacrifice "to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.” (Former President Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg).  

 

Surprisingly, 92 military and 405 police K9's have died in the line of duty since 2000. I didn't want this group of heroes to go unremembered. 

​

It became my mission to honor the sacrifice of  brave working dogs by providing an honorary portrait to the handlers of fallen K9's.

​

​It is my sincere hope that through a Valor Portrait their legacy will live on in the hearts and minds of those who remember them, and remind the rest of us of the true meaning of sacrifice and service.
