NATIONAL MONUMENT PROMOTION EVENT – LACKLAND AFB Joint Service K9 Trials and Training Seminar and Vendor Expo

In conjunction with the worldwide Military K9 Team Competitions, Garrett Container Systems, Inc. organized a Vendors Expo of Military Working Dog (MWD) Team products and services.  GCS invited Vendors from all over the country to display and discuss their products and services that support the U.S. MWD Team programs worldwide.   A Vendor Raffle of donated dog and handler products and services was held for the competing MWD Handlers.   It was a huge success! 

JBMF, Inc. also raffled off 3 Mini Models of the national monument's pedestal figures (4 dogs and handler).  The Vendors also pooled their money together and made a significant donation totaling $62,000.00 to the National Monument for Military Working Dog Teams.  A BIG THANK YOU to ALL the Vendors that supported this terrific event!!!
