Army SSG Ryan Christian Knauss was affectionately called by his Mom in childhood as RK.  Now, RK will be the new named puppy for a deserving veteran weighted with PTSD.  RK will be trained for about 2 years by Continuing the Mission through generous community support during the Holiday Highlander Games organized by Athletic Directors Willie and Kendra Danzer.  A Sweet Note to the Veteran Receiving this Precious Dog:  Every time you call for RK and someone asks you what RK stands for, then you can tell the story of a beloved hero that will never be forgotten.

CTM RK, sponsored by the Holiday Highlander in honor of Taylor Sexton, named after Ryan Knauss.  Taylor has 11 years in service. She is a Psychological Operations Sergeant with four deployments and is currently serving as an AIT Drill Sergeant. She is a leader, a friend, and continuously exceeds expectations. In true Taylor fashion, she chose to offer the CTM puppy namesake to Army Staff Sgt. Ryan C. Knauss, assigned to 9th Battalion, 8th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne).  Read more about Taylor and Ryan on The Holiday Highlander’s Instagram page.
