🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, United States Marine Corps! 🇺🇸
Today we proudly celebrate 250 years of honor, courage, and commitment. The legacy of the Marine Corps runs deep within Southern Cross Service Dogs, not just in our mission, but in our very name and design.
Did you know that Southern Cross pays homage to the Marine Corps Raiders, the elite warriors who set the standard for excellence and sacrifice?
The Southern Cross constellation represents the historic achievements of Marines during the Pacific campaign of WWII, especially on Guadalcanal. From 1942 to 1944, the Raiders embodied the fighting spirit of the Corps — a legacy that lives on today through the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC), formally recognized as Marine Raiders in 2015.
The Raider insignia — a closed skull surrounded by the Southern Cross constellation — symbolizes bravery, unity, and the relentless pursuit of mission success. It’s an emblem that continues to inspire everything we do at Southern Cross Service Dogs.
Semper Fidelis, Marines. 🦅🌎⚓

🇺🇸 Kicking off Veteran Appreciation Month the best way we know how — surrounded by our brothers and sisters in arms.
This weekend, we joined local veterans at the Horizon West American Legion, Post 419 for the Veterans Appreciation 5K Fun Run and 3rd Annual “Be the One” Ruck/Walk. It was an incredible morning celebrating camaraderie, community, and the strength that unites us all.
A huge thank you to the supporting organizations who showed up strong — all veterans and proud members of our local American Legion. Your continued dedication reminds us what service looks like, long after the uniform comes off.
