A group of ten Vietnam Veterans were at the center to be recognized for their service with the pinning ceremony as part of the center's We Honor Veterans program. A brief ceremony commemorating local Vietnam war dead at the center's Healing Garden was followed by the pinning ceremony inside. As part of the program a pinned Hospice volunteer will present pins to vets in Hospice care at the request of family. (Sean D. Elliot/The Day)
