Journey Hospice (a Level II We Honor Veterans partner), in collaboration with Fleet Reserve Association Branch 13, hosted a Flag Day Ceremony for the veteran residents of Egg Harbor Care Center, in Egg Harbor Township. Mayor Paul Hodson shared a proclamation on the front lawn of Egg Harbor Care Center, as a member of Fleet Reserve Association Branch 13 presented the American Flag. Journey Hospice recognized several veteran residents with certificates of acknowledgment for their service to our country. Egg Harbor Care Center staff members, families of the veteran residents and members of the community were also present.

Journey Hospice, a non-profit provider of hospice and palliative care services, holds various veteran recognition events throughout South Jersey each year. Executive Director, Darlene Thurber, explains, “We travel the state to meet extraordinary veterans in nursing homes and veteran facilities, to hear their stories, say ‘thank you,’ and celebrate their service with a special pinning ceremony. We also share free resources, provide educational opportunities, as well as host veteran café events for local veterans to socialize and reminisce. It is part of our commitment to helping create a fulfilling life’s journey for those we serve.”
