Do You Give a Gift at a Pinning Ceremony?
Yes, you are welcome to give a gift during a hospice veteran pinning ceremony. Gifts serve as a special way to express your gratitude and provide the veteran with a long-term memento of the occasion.
We suggest several meaningful options for those who wish to present a gift:
- A patriotic card: Write a personal note of thanks to the veteran to be given during or after the ceremony.
- A small American flag: This serves as a tangible memento and a constant reminder of the country they served.
- A charitable donation: If you would like to extend your thanks in a way that serves others, you can make a donation to a veteran’s support organization in the veteran’s name.
At Cherish Hospice, we believe care always matters, and these small gestures help us affect the journey by acknowledging the immense debt and gratitude we carry for a veteran’s sacrifice.
