Welcome Home Veterans Event
Area veterans and the community-at-large are invited to the third annual “Welcome Home Veterans” event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at Summit Park in Blue Ash. This free event is hosted by Hospice of Cincinnati and the City of Blue Ash. The festive and moving event honors veterans for their service and sacrifice, and gives them the “welcome home” recognition some of them never received.
Veterans are invited to gather at 11 a.m. for lunch and fellowship. The community-at-large is invited to join at noon to celebrate the veterans and honor them during the Recognition Ceremony and Parade of Heroes. Last year’s event drew 497 participants, half of whom were veterans and their families.
“Many veterans never received the warm ‘welcome home’ that they deserved,” said Julie Alley, MSW, LISW, social worker and veterans service liaison at HOC Navigators. “As a hospice, we believe that all veterans, regardless of where they are in their life’s journey, deserve a meaningful acknowledgement of their service from a grateful nation.”
The event will be held under the Main Canopy at Summit Park, 4335 Glendale Milford Rd., Blue Ash.
Veterans can call (513) 246-9291 to register, or visit: https://tinyurl.com/yj9vznce. Community members do not need to register.
Veterans often have unique needs at the end of life based on their military service and experience. Hospice of Cincinnati is dedicated to offering veteran-centered care to provide the best and most meaningful advanced illness and end-of-life experience to those who have served.
Hospice of Cincinnati holds Level 4 Status with the We Honor Veterans Program, a collaboration between the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Hospice of Cincinnati is also a Commemorative Partner of The United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration, recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War.
