Thursday, July 3, marked a special day for residents at the Villa South Assisted Living facility. They received their own version of the Wall of Honor.
A ceremony was held to celebrate the latest addition. The event featured The Veterans Band and the Honor Guard.
Ronnie Schultz, the volunteer coordinator with Altus Hospice-Corpus Christi, spoke with KRIS 6 about the new addition.
"Stephanie, our program director, saw an opportunity to expand honoring their facility's veterans by offering to have Altus Hospice sponsor a veterans honor wall for them," Schultz said.
This event comes just one day before Independence Day, which Schultz says was planned out this way.
"It was very near and dear to our heart because, again, of our "We honor Veterans" program," Schultz said. "So we really enjoyed it, and we hope those in attendance enjoyed it as well."
