Make sure to honor your veterans In some way See if residents can recall the end of World War II Sing some patriotic songs
I like to alternate talk with singing seems to hold the group together Maybe you can get some patriotic treats to eat to be served at the end of the activity

Hi Tina, we hold a luncheon celebration each year for Veterans Day. One year we invited the local VA chapter to present awards to all of our veterans, the following year we had a local school ROTC provide blankets for each branch of the US armed forces. I think that a more formal event is well-received and can be a touching tribute to your veterans.
Memorial Day is set aside to honor and remember military personnel who have died. All military veterans are honored on Veterans Day (Nov 11) and Armed Forces Day (celebrated in May.)
Thank you for creating this website for Activity and Life Enrichment teams! It has been a great year with all of the ideas and help you have provided for our facility here in California. Much gratitude to all of the Golden Carers staff!
