On Veteran’s Day, the residents and staff of Versailles Health Care
Center held a special celebration to honor their veterans. The

poem read by Activities Assistant, Susan Browder, followed by a round
of applause to recognize the sacrifice and valor of all veterans.
The residents then enjoyed a celebratory dinner compliments of V.F.W.

say thanks to those who have protected our freedom and a special thank
you to our veterans in particular!” Several community members
also paid tribute to Versailles Health Care Center veterans with visits
