Ceremony number one is part of history, a sad moment and a happy one.
Sad: the activities director neglected to inform me that one of the veterans passed away last night and I read off his name to receive a certificate of appreciation.
Happy: A Former marine in his 90's could not come outside for the ceremony because he had just been in the hospital and his doctor said no. So the vice Commander and I went to his room to visit him. His mind is still sharp, he remembered us from last year and got his second Certificate from us. He had last years proudly displayed on his wall. We chatted for a few moments then wished him well, and he took our hearts with 5 simple words; "I'll see you next year."
