“Memorial Day isn’t just about honoring veterans, it’s honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that is a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve. It’s a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it.”
-Peter Hegseth, former executive director of Vets for Freedom
Juniper Village at Mount Joy is proud of the many veterans that reside within the facility. Together associates, residents, family members, and volunteers set aside time on Memorial Day to celebrate and honor former servicemen and women. Veterans Visit is always the most revered hour on this set apart day. This is a time for veterans to gather in the Living Room that they may reminisce and get recognized for their committed service to our country. During the visits veterans (or a veterans’ spouse) are saluted, pinned, and applauded for defending and securing the United States of America.
Freedom does not come Free. Memorial Day was spent thanking those that served our country while also remembering those who died for our freedom.
Thank you to all United States troops and veterans!
