“Through the work of ASAP and Dog Tag Bakery, I’m really starting to get to know myself and I’m really starting to learn, okay where did I come from, where am I now, and just dream about where I can possibly be headed. Not with fear, not with judgment, not with regret – but with real freedom, which is what we served our country to defend.” -Anne Barlieb, Army Veteran, ASAP and Dog Tag Alumna
