Friendship Center honored its veteran members with a Veteran’s Luncheon May 29 celebrating their service and sacrifice.

The event welcomed nearly 50 guests, including members, their families, and loved ones.

Nine veterans were individually honored during the event. Each was presented with a special gift and invited to stand as a brief tribute was shared, highlighting when and where they served, along with personal stories that made their journeys memorable.

The afternoon concluded as the Snapshot Band performed favorites, and laughter, music, and dancing filled the courtyard.

Friendship Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing compassionate daytime care for older adults living with dementia, supporting both members and their families.

“Events like the Veteran’s Luncheon offer a reminder of the importance of community and the joy that comes from shared experiences,” Friendship Center said.
