Today was a truly special day at Knox County Nursing Home as we came together to honor our nation's heroes, the brave men and women who have served in our military.
The festivities kicked off with a delicious meal donated by PZ's, a local favorite. Our residents enjoyed every bite of the tasty food, and we're so grateful for PZ's generosity. But the meal was just the beginning, we also had a special visit and prayer from Jordan Knight of Compassus Hospice, which added a touching and heartfelt element to the celebration.
Our residents were also presented with certificates and green light bulbs, courtesy of Rep. Dan Swanson, to show appreciation for their service. The green light bulbs are part of a nationwide movement to honor our soldiers, and we're proud to be a part of it. Meghan Westergreen from Traditions Hospice was also on hand to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance and present our veterans with pins and cake. Several local school children created impressive cards to thank our veterans for their service.
Our residents also received beautiful, handmade quilts from Quilts of Valor. These stunning quilts are made with love and care, and are presented to veterans as a symbol of appreciation for their service. Knox County Nursing Home had special T-shirts made just for the veterans.
Today was a wonderful reminder of the importance of honoring our veterans and showing them the appreciation they so rightly deserve. We're thankful to everyone who came out to support us and make this day so special for our residents. Happy Veteran's Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
