Access Home Care and Hospice would like to say thank you to the many veterans who have given of themselves so that we can enjoy the freedoms of this country. Recently we had election day.  Because of the sacrifices of many who served this country, we were able to exercise our freedom to vote openly, without fear. 

It is an honor to care for our veteran's healthcare needs, especially those we have the privilege of caring for at the end of life. Please go here to see a video about the "We Honor Veterans program." Also, go here to see a previous post of veterans that Access has had the privilege to care for.

The Noble and the Brave:
A Veteran's Day Tribute

When America had an urgent need,
These brave ones raised a hand;
No hesitation held them back;
They were proud to take a stand.

They left their friends and family;
They gave up normal life;
To serve their country and their God,
They plowed into the strife.

They fought for freedom and for peace
On strange and foreign shores;
Some lost new friends; some lost their lives
In long and brutal wars.

Other veterans answered a call
To support the ones who fought;
Their country had requirements for
The essential skills they brought.

We salute every one of them,
The noble and the brave,
The ones still with us here today,
And those who rest in a grave.

So here’s to our country’s heroes;
They’re a cut above the rest;
Let’s give the honor that is due
To our country’s very best.
