Our Hospice recognizes local veteran under national initiative

A local veteran was honored last week as part of a We Honor Veterans initiative organized here by Our Hospice.

According to the hospice, Bob Haddad Sr. was recognized for his service at a ceremony last week at the Traditions of Columbus senior care community. He received a pin from retired U.S. Air Force Major General Mark Pillar and a handcrafted wooden plaque made by local high school students in the C4 program. We Honor Veterans volunteers meet with the students creating the plaques explaining that the plaque is a lasting symbol of appreciation and respect for the men and women who have safeguarded our freedom

Our Hospice provides specialized end-of-life care that addresses the unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of veterans. The We Honor Veterans initiative connects veteran-to-veteran volunteers and holds public recognition ceremonies—ensuring every veteran’s service is
acknowledged.
