The Jimmy Stewart Museum received a four-footed visitor today that will help soldiers in need later on.
A labrador puppy named “Jimmy” paid a visit to the museum today with Rick Yount, the Executive Director of Warrior Canine Connection. Yount said that the dog is to be trained to help soldiers experiencing PTSD and other hardships as part of the overall goal of the Warrior Canine Connection.
Museum Execitive Director Janie McKirgan said that it was a great honor to have the dog named for Jimmy as it keeps the history of his military career in World War II alive and will also remind everyone of Jimmy’s love of dogs.

“Jimmy” will be put into service to help veterans in about two years.
