Michigan Veteran Homes

Last Thursday, Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) Director Brian L. Love went to the Michigan Veteran Homes at Chesterfield Township (MVHCT) to donate gifts from the Veterans Giving Tree. Each star on the tree represents a gift requested by a veteran member or a life enrichment gift that would improve the quality of life for a group of veterans.

Thanks to our friends at the Bob Woodruff Foundation and the Detroit Lions for inviting, recognizing, and honoring some of our WWII #veterans from Michigan Veteran Homes at Chesterfield Township yesterday at the game in #Detroit. The sincerest of “Thank-Yous” fails to do sufficient justice to the incredible generation of patriots who stood tall, served, and sacrificed on our behalf at places like Omaha Beach, Midway, Battle of the Bulge, Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, and so many others. Nonetheless, we’re hopeful – at the very least – that the way we as a society treat and care for those still with us from this special generation, demonstrates to them that they reside amongst a grateful nation, worthy of their sacrifices. We're serving those men and women who've served us, with the exceptional care and quality of life they earned, and deserve.

Our Giving Trees are up at Michigan Veteran Homes at Chesterfield Township and Michigan Veteran Homes at Grand Rapids! Each star on the tree represents a gift requested by a veteran member or a life enrichment gift that would improve the quality of life for a group of veterans.

Tonight, one of our incredible and dedicated volunteers - who has been supporting Michigan Veteran Homes D.J.Jacobetti for decades - is being recognized by the Governor at the Detroit Opera House. Congratulations, Lois. You make the world a better place. https://lnkd.in/eSDZiCi7

We’re fortunate to celebrate service every day of the year at Michigan Veteran Homes. However, we’d be fibbing if we tried to tell you Veterans Day isn’t uniquely special at MVH, too. MVH at Grand Rapids’ day included a waffle bar, a visit from Congresswoman Hillary Scholten, a generous donation from Meijer, music from the 126th Army Band, a dessert bar provided by the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) ‘Got Your Six’ employee resource group, and more music from the band Big Cadillac. MVH D.J. Jacobetti’s day included a special #veterans dinner, a salute to #veteran members, staff, and volunteers, cookies and more from LEO’s ‘Got Your Six’, fruit trays from Resolve Surgical Technologies, and more. MVH at Chesterfield Township’s day included a visit with songs from Naldrett Elementary students, a ceremony with 21-gun salute, dessert bar from LEO’s ‘Got Your Six,’ a candlelight luncheon, and live music for veteran members by Joe and Jim DeHenau. And, many other visits, doughnuts, coffee, cards, #generosity and shared gratitude from our communities. Indeed, it takes a #community to appropriately serve those who’ve served our nation. Thank you!

Happy Veteran's Day to all of those who have protected our freedoms and served our country! ??
