‘Ward’s Way:’ Airman finds hope, purpose during deployment
U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Katie Ward, 633rd Air Base Wing Public Affairs media operations NCO in charge, met her future rescue dog on a street called “Ward’s Way” while deployed to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2014. Inspired while deployed, Ward created a Facebook page and online fundraisers, then created a nonprofit organization of her own to purchase food, pay veterinary bills and coordinate travel to new homes for rescued Bosnian dogs.
