Military Families Magazine recently highlighted the work of Dog Tag Bakery:

A group of Dog Tag alumni recently got together virtually to share their experiences and answer questions. If you are interested in applying for the Dog Tag fellowship, learn more from men and women who have completed the program!

Dog Tag’s Cohort 11 held their virtual graduation ceremony recently, and I want to congratulate the group on their accomplishments. The current environment created challenges that changed how the fellowship program was conducted over the last few months, but this outstanding group of men and women made us all proud with how they persevered to complete the program. I wish them all the best and welcome them to our Dog Tag alumni network!
