Adams Lane Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Honors their Veteran Residents

ZANESVILLE, OH – A local nursing home honored their Veterans ahead of Veterans Day.

Adams Lane Nursing and Rehabilitation Center honored the 27 veterans currently in their care with a ceremony on Tuesday.

Destiny Barnett, a manager at Adams Lane, says representatives from Buckeye Hospice and the American Legion Post 29 were there to help honor the men who fought for their country.

“Actually these folks, I think we have a good variety of gentlemen today, these lovely gentlemen that are with us are some of the most historical members of the community that we have.” Barnett said. “They have served us for a number of years and now we have the privilege to serve them and it’s just great to hear their stories and hear the parts of history that they lived through, they experienced, and they got to be a part of.”

Legion Members gave pins to each of the Veterans at Adams Lane as well as a certificate for their service.

They also received a goodie bag and enjoyed some homemade cupcakes from the kitchen staff.

“This is such a special time to do this, they served us and served our country and made sure that we can live in what world we live in today.” Barnett said. “So now, we’re taking care of them and serving them and it’s an absolute privilege and honor.”

The ceremony ended with a prayer for all the Veterans led by the Chaplain from Buckeye Hospice.
