Beckley WV VA Home of the Brave 2022
“Dates of Photos and Events:
8 November-15 November 2022.
We celebrated Home of the Brave all week at the Beckley VAMC. We visited the CLC one day, and the inpatient floor all week long, so we were able to gift new admits with a tee shirt, cinch sack, socks, word search book and hygiene kits. I also visited the two different groups of Adult Day Care residents and gifted them with the cinch sacks and goodies as well as doughnuts. Besides gifted them with the bags, I was able to sit and visit with the Day Care residents for awhile. It was two very good mornings. On the 10th, we started the morning by celebrating the Marine Corps birthday, and had cake for any outpatient veteran
in the hospital/clinic area. We then served Nachos, pop and water to any veteran as they left the hospital/clinic. Today (15 November), we ended up celebrating Home of the Brave by celebrating the Female Veterans who had or is having a baby in 2022. We gifted 8 moms with Mary Kay items, clothing, diapers, and a "big" item that they needed. It was a cold rainy outside baby shower but lots of warm wishes and feelings abounded.”

I had a veteran tell me on Tuesday his birthday was Thursday and all he wanted was a Diet Coke. We delivered that and much more. He started crying on his 87th birthday. Told me he wasn't crying cause he was sad, he was crying cause "we remembered him, and he is blessed"
