WITH HONORS
Hope VALOR
Memorial Day, Independence Day andveterans Day provide opportunities for us to recognize and thank our nation's heroes. Hope's VALOR program,veteran's Access to Life Opportunities and Resources, honors the men and women who have served our country and helps ensure they receive the special care and recognition they deserve all year long.
Hope collaborates with theveterans Administration to help make arrangements for replacement medals, military funeral honors, burials in AVA national cemetery, and donations of artifacts to historical societies and museums.
Through the Library of Congress, Hope facilitates the “Veteran's History Project” to help collect and archive personal recollections of veterans to honor their service and share their stories with current and future generations.
Hope is also on hand to provide emotional support. Our chaplains and counselors can help veterans cope with issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and other symptoms caused by combat or wartime experiences.
“Hope has a broad range of programs designed to meet the special needs of our country's beloved veterans,” said Samira K. Beckwith, president and CEO of Hope Healthcare.“it's a fulfilling and heart-warming part of Hope's mission.”
Among the most moving and memorable moments at Hope happen when our volunteer Honor Guard, a group of U.S. veterans and supporters, conduct special presentations for Hope's veterans.with family and friends in attendance, veterans receive a certificate of appreciation, lapel pin, stuffed bear and a formal military salute in honor of their service to our country and the sacrifices they made for our freedom.
