Increasing numbers of Vietnam Veterans are living with serious illness and enrolling in hospice care. As a Level 5 We Honor Veteran partner and as a 50th Anniversary Vietnam War Commemorative Partner, we aim to honor every Veteran under our care with an individualized pinning ceremony. The interdisciplinary team gathers with the Veteran patients and their family and friends to provide special recognition which includes receiving a flag pin (all Veterans), the Vietnam War Commemorative Lapel Pin and Presidential Proclamations (Vietnam Veterans), a Certificate, a homemade blanket, and a special acknowledgement card. A special reading is facilitated by the interdisciplinary team and the patient is thanked for their service, on behalf of a grateful nation. This ceremony and recognition provides closure for the Veteran and their family during this challenging time at end of life. Last year we served 387 Veteran patients of which 102 served in the Vietnam War. We expect the number of Vietnam War Veterans served to increase each year.
