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.

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.
