CCA supports our service members and their families, current and veteran! We'd like to give a special shout-out to Company A 1-169th Aviation Regiment, currently in Kosovo. During Vietnam, a Chinook named Charger was attached to the "Winged Warriors". Military dogs both assist and protect our service members while providing affection and moments of laughter.
