                         Tuesday, March 5, 2013

  Mr. MEEHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of K9 Veteran's Day. March 
13, 1942 is the official birthday of the United States K9 Corps and 
many states across the country, including Pennsylvania, have officially 
recognized this date as K9 Veterans Day. For decades, military and 
police working dogs have served alongside our brave troops and law 
enforcement officers. They have sacrificed and lost their lives in the 
line of duty, and they deserve our respect and gratitude. It is 
important that we take a moment to remember those canines that have 
served diligently to protect lives.
