We Honor Our Veterans

The Sandy Senior Center, in partnership with Mt. Hood Hospice, will host a community Veterans Pinning ceremony for all generations. A Veteran pinning ceremony is a way to honor veterans and thank them for their service. "We honor Veterans" is a National program under the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. We aim to publicly acknowledge the military service and sacrifices made by our local Veterans and their families.
