🎳 Adaptive Sports & Bowling Event – Mission Accomplished

On Thursday, January 8, 2026, the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center hosted an Adaptive Sports & Bowling session for our Veteran amputees at Lucky Strike Bowling Alley, Cherry Hill, NJ. From 12:00–2:00 p.m., approximately 30 Veterans demonstrated remarkable skill, determination, and camaraderie on the lanes.

We extend our appreciation to:
• Tim Llewellyn, Physical Therapist, event lead
• Kellie Corcoran, Interim Chief, Recreation Therapy, co-lead

Their expertise and commitment ensured a safe, engaging environment that fostered rehabilitation, wellness, and peer support.

Thank you to every Veteran who participated, as well as to our staff and volunteers who made this event possible. Adaptive sports remain an essential component of whole-health care, empowering Veterans to achieve their personal goals and enhance quality of life.

For information on upcoming adaptive sports opportunities, please contact the Recreation Therapy Service at 215-823-5800.

MARCH 26, 2026-Together We Remember: Unaccompanied Veterans Ceremony
Unaccompanied Veterans Service – Washington Crossing National Cemetery

Each month, we gather as a grateful nation to pay final respects to veterans who served with honor but have no family or loved ones present. Though unaccompanied, they are never alone—not when fellow citizens stand in their place.

🪖 The Unaccompanied Veterans Service is held on the last Thursday of each month, with exceptions in November and December due to the holidays.

📅 Next Service Date:
Thursday, March 26, 2026
🕒 Time: 2:00 PM
📍 Location: Shelter 1, Washington Crossing National Cemetery

This solemn tribute is open to the public. Veterans, service members, families, community groups, and patriotic individuals are encouraged to attend. Your presence ensures that no veteran is laid to rest without dignity or remembrance.

Honor. Respect. Commitment.
Join us in keeping that promise.
