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.
