It is my hope to visit all nursing homes in the Fort Collins, CO area over the next couple of years and have a ceremony at each one honoring Vietnam Veterans who may not be able to get out to other ceremonies. These hero's deserve to be thanked before its too late. We have a dedicated group of volunteers at the Elks who would make sure each ceremony would be special. I don't know how many there are out there.With over 30 assisted living facilities in the area, I would like to order 200 pins if available. This would be an ongoing project. It would be an honor to do this. I am filling in blanks with approximate numbers. I honestly don't know how many Vietnam/Vietnam era Veterans are living in assisted living. I need to make sure I can get the items first then dive in. Thank you.

We would like to have pins, brochures and proclamations on hand for when we are at various events. For example, last fall I pinned 4 veterand when I was a Guardian on the San Diego Honor Flight. We sent a pin and materials to a dying Vietnam Veteran (uncle of a member or our chapter) with letters. We had a few members pin family members. Every time I meet a veteran I make sure they are pinned and thanked for their service so we would like extra pins to have for various events.
