Paws for Reflection Ranch

Veterans and First Responders

The Paws for Reflection Ranch is a Christ centered facility that tailors treatment plans for each individual client. Veterans and First Responders are a big focus within their clientele, beyond the regular community member, children, and families. All of which get tremendous benefit to their programs. This is a wonderful way to work through issues in a calming and serene atmosphere that allows you to focus on you!

Help Support the Cause!

Mission: To provide a healing, educational, motivational, and recreational environment utilizing equine and other animal assisted therapies and experiences to enhance the quality of life for all clients, and to provide a loving home, whether temporary or permanent, for animals that meet specific criteria.

We are selling 1,000 coins in total! All 1,000 coins are laser numbered (in the gold rectangle underneath the service emblems). The coins are 1.75″ in diameter and Brass 3.5mm with Hard Enamel with a gold spiral border. This coin commemorates the dedication of the RedHawk Warrior (Chris Kyle) life-size bronze statue that was unveiled during the Ellis County Veterans Celebration on Veterans Day 2023, and is on display to the public at the Waxahachie Civic Center for the next several years. 

Here is how to purchase your coin(s): Download the Coin Order Form from the button below and mail it in per the instructions with your form of payment (cash, cashiers check, or personal check) to the Ellis County Veterans Celebration. (Make sure you note the coin purchase in the Memo section).  You may also hand the form and payment to an Ellis County Veterans Celebration planning committee member; however, this method may be slower to receive than by mail.
