​MOPH Chapter 531 Visit to Homestead Hospice in Athens GA

Posted on March 27, 2017January 10, 2019 by moph531

MOPH Chapter 531 NE GA has three Patriots that do regular veteran volunteer visitations for Homestead Hospice – Athens, Jim Wood, John Cranmer, and Brian West. On March 27, 2017 John Cranmer and Brian West joined up with Homestead Hospice – Athens, Volunteer Coordinator, Heather De Los Santos for a “pinning” of two new hospice veterans at the Oaks of Braselton in Hoschton, GA. One of the men was a 99 year old WWII US Army Veteran. The other was a 90 year old USMC Korean War Veteran. Each of the men were presented with a “Homestead Hospice American Flag Pin”, a “Quilt of Valor”, and a challenge coin. The WWII vet’s challenge coin was a “WWII Victory Coin”. The Marine’s coin was a “USMC – Semper Fi”. It was a very emotional ceremony with the veterans and their family members being extremely grateful for the honors.
