A Tribute to Veterans at Alois Alzheimer Center

With Memorial Day just behind us and our Service men and women on their minds, Vista Hospice and a Veterans Organization provided our residents and staff with a special program recognizing each individual Veteran and their service to our Nation.


Nineteen Veterans, representing EVERY branch of service including the Cadet Nurse Corp and the Army Air Corp were present for this special service.



Many sang with the patriotic music, waved their flags and kept their hand over their heart for the National Anthem. Each person clapped long and loudly as each Service Member was presented with a special pin and certificate. Our Service Members were proud, yet humble and some were moved to tears. It was a celebratory, moving, emotional tribute to those as a Nation we owe so very much too. We salute each and every member of our Nation's Armed Forces, past and present. Thank you!
