These pins will be used for pinning ceremonies to honor and thank Vietnam Veterans who are in hospice care with our organization. All Veterans we serve are recognized with a "thank you" flag-pinning ceremony to honor their service; it would be especially nice to have a specific pin for the Vietnam Veterans. We also attempt to have as many family members as possible present for these bedside pinning ceremonies: they are often quite emotional, as this is a final opportunity for the service of these brave men and women to be acknowledged. This event was a great success! We wanted to recognize our own five staff and hospice volunteers who are Vietnam Veterans, and we wanted to surprise them with the honor on Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day (March 30). The presentation of the Vietnam Veteran lapel pin, a personalized certificate and a bumper sticker. A special ceremony and reading were done at the beginning of a presentation on Honoring Veterans at the End of Life - a mandatory in-service for our hospice volunteers - that was intentionally scheduled on that date. We had asked the Veterans to be present just so we could introduce them to the group assembled for the program. Our CEO read a tribute to them, and they were pinned and thanked, and received a lengthy standing ovation from the crowd in attendance.
