Just curious what everyone does to celebrate veterans (for veterans day) at your senior center. I feel like we do the same thing over and over. I'd really like to switch it up.
Here are some ideas and golden carers

I always had a program for the veterans because I think it’s very important to unload them
I always invited different fat veterans to speak and let the residents tell their stories if they wanted to I also let everyone speak because even though they weren’t a veteran, they probably knew a veteran and must’ve done something during that time to help the veterans
We sang patriotic songs
I would mixing up so people wouldn’t get bored we’d sing, and then I let a few people talk and then we sing some more
I also handed out certificates special ones to veterans and anyone who came got a certificate, but was not the same as special certificate
