🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes at the Helena Senior Center 🇺🇸

Today, we proudly recognized and celebrated the brave men and women who have served our country. Each Veteran was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation, and several also received special gift cards as a small token of our gratitude for their service and sacrifice.

The Helena Senior Center is honored to have five active Veterans among our members — Joe Johnson, Felix Ross, Stanley Phillips, Thomas Patterson, and David Dodd, Jr. We are deeply proud of each of them.

We were also privileged to welcome Retired Sergeant Ollie Shaw, who served as a recruiter for over 20 years, along with distinguished guest speakers Col. John Edwards and Col. Alvin Burse, who shared inspiring words with our seniors.

In total, we had 12 Veterans present and honored 35 Veterans today. It was a day filled with pride, gratitude, and heartfelt appreciation for those who have given so much to protect our freedom.

💙❤️ Thank you to all our Veterans — we salute you! ❤️💙
