Subject: | Resolution Honoring "State Veterans’ Homes Week " |
Please join me in co-sponsoring a resolution designating the week of June 9 to 15, 2014 as the 23rd annual “State Veterans’ Homes Week” in Pennsylvania. “State Veterans’ Homes Week” is designed to encourage citizens to visit the American heroes currently being cared for in one of the state’s six veterans’ homes, thank them for their sacrifices and service, and thank the staff and volunteers who provide exceptional care every day. For more than a century, the Commonwealth has tended to the needs of aging, ill and injured veterans in these state-supported homes. Under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, the staff provides personal care, skilled nursing care, domiciliary care and dementia care to more than 1,600 veterans and their spouses, in Erie, Hollidaysburg, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Scranton, and Spring City. If you have any questions please contact Matt Azeles in my office at 717-787-3110. Thank you for your consideration. |
