OMAHA — Twelve residents of the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home who served in the military were each honored with a pinning ceremony and a commemorative coin at a Veterans Day program, the home's activities director wrote in a Jewish Federation of Omaha post on Nov. 11.
Military spouses were also recognized, and each was given a rose, wrote Maggie Conti, the home's director of activities and volunteer services. Staff from Suncrest Hospice sponsored and presented the program.
The program opened with welcoming remarks, a prayer and patriotic music, Conti wrote. Each veteran was recognized one by one. Everyone in the room joined in singing "God Bless America," and the program concluded with reflections and expressions of appreciation. Guests then gathered for a reception. Conti credited Krystal Skradski Gage, a hospice liaison, with organizing the tribute.
