These pins are used in several small Veteran's Day events in area senior living communities, as well as throughout the year in our one-on-one Veteran honoring ceremonies we hold with each of our hospice patients who have served. The Vietnam pin is given only to Vietnam veterans by a veteran. The individual pinning ceremonies include the pin, a pillow embroidered with "At Ease" on it, a flag stand, and an individualized certificate. When possible, the Quilts of Valor is also included in the presentation to our individual hospice patients for private ceremony which includes the patient, the family members, and the staff of the facility. When the patient's spouse is included, we have been gifting him/her with the Poem for the Silent ranks. The surviving spouse pin would be greatly appreciated and used for these individual ceremonies as well as for the Veteran events in the communities as we often have surviving spouses which we recognize.
