NBC10 report: Disabled veteran kicked off boardwalk because of service dog

    A disabled U.S. Army veteran, who served our country for 19 years, says he was kicked off the North Wildwood boardwalk Thursday night, simply for having his service dog by his side.

    Jared Goering served one tour in Iraq, two in Afghanistan, and spent 19 years as an active member of the Army.

    A North Wildwood police officer issued Jared and his wife a summons because of the dog. Goering said, “I expected to get more respect from him because of the jobs that we both have to do.”
