FHCA Honors Aging Veterans
November 12th, 2018 by Jake Stofan
While World War II, Vietnam and Korea are largely confined to the history books for many Americans, aging veterans of each of those wars are still with us.
The Florida Health Care Association, which represents assisted living facilities and nursing homes in the state held a special ceremony for about 20 veterans living under their members care Monday morning.
The event was organized with help from the Florida Veterans Foundation.
“We have many men and women working and residing in our member centers who served in the United States armed forces. Today and everyday FHCA is proud to honor these brave veterans for their service to our country and the scarifies they made for our freedom,” said FHCA Executive Director Emmett Reed.
Veterans honored at the ceremony were served a hot breakfast and presented with a medal from FHCA to thank them for their service.
