Veterans Day is more than a date on the calendar, it’s a moment to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who have worn our nation’s uniform. At WDVA, this day holds special meaning across our four Veterans Homes, where residents embody the legacy of service every day.

From Port Orchard to Spokane, Orting to Walla Walla, our Homes provide more than care. They offer community, dignity, and connection. On Veterans Day, staff and volunteers come together to celebrate our Residents with heartfelt ceremonies, shared stories, and quiet moments of gratitude. These events remind us that honoring Veterans isn’t just symbolic it’s personal.

As we recognize their service, we also invite everyone to support these Homes in a tangible way. Donations help provide comfort items, recreational activities, and personal touches that make our Homes feel like home. Whether it’s a warm blanket, a holiday gift, or a new book, your contribution makes a meaningful difference.
