SPECIAL INVITATION TO SUPPORT WWVH VETERANS
-------------------
Honored Veterans of the Walla Walla Veterans Home are currently inviting individuals and organizations to join them in creating something big, something new, meaningful, and lasting to "enhance the beauty and serenity" of this campus for decades to come. They are requesting donations for construction of a large custom-built water feature for the front courtyard of campus - to be dedicated in honor of all past, present, and future Veterans and Staff of the Walla Walla Veterans Home. Here are more details, why they are doing this, and how you can help:

After much coordination and planning, WWVH Vets kicked off their fundraising campaign with a great event this past June (see photos). This is a significant undertaking, requiring lots of our Veterans' time, thought, strategy, and energy. At every stage, their indomitable ambition, coordination, and creativity have been nothing short of extraordinary. They have been at the helm of this from the initial idea phase to design development, ongoing planning sessions, fundraising, extensive communications, coordinating logistics with staff, and working with WWVH Administrator to learn about safety and other rules/regs that must be followed for a landscaping installation this grand.

When their dream becomes a reality, these Vets will have had a hand in nearly every aspect of this endeavor. They will finally get to enjoy the rejuvenating sights and sounds of a cascading waterfall feature surrounded by native boulders, lush shrubbery, and trees - all situated in a custom-built raised enclosure with a natural cultured-stone exterior finish! It will be a peaceful place for, "reflection, serenity, and to experience the healing powers of nature" - Bob Jones (WWVH Veteran who first presented this idea 2 years ago).

🌴🌺💃🍍WWVH Luau Party 8/12/2026🌴🌺💃🍍

After a bit of decorating for this special event, our residents were ready to see what we had in store for them! Everyone enjoyed watching luau dancing and fire dancing movies and partaking in delicious luau-themed treats and drinks - which helped make the afternoon even more memorable. This is one example of the many ways we strive to add a little more joy, connection, and positive quality of life for Those Who Served and their loved ones. Seeing smiles on our residents faces during fun experiences like this makes what we do here at the Veterans Home so special!

🌸 A Lovely Day for Tea 🫖💕

"After dealing with some inclement air quality recently in the Walla Walla area, our ladies were more than ready to get out and enjoy a beautiful morning together. We gathered for lovely music, tea, delicious coconut treats, and fresh fruit - all made even sweeter by wonderful conversation and quality time with Teresa. Jacky added to the experience with beautiful scenery and music videos, creating such a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere.

It was truly a beautiful morning filled with friendship, laughter, music, and moments to cherish. 💕🌷🫖

Such a beautiful and heartfelt pleasure to Serve Those Who Served and their Loved Ones. I am Honored to be a part of Walla Walla Veterans home."

Special message from a group of our WWVH Vets to the mystery person who surprised them and sneakily paid for their breakfast at Clarette's Restaurant this morning: We want to say THANK YOU A WAFFLE LOT!! That was very thoughtful and it meant a great deal. We hope you will see this post and know that you touched our hearts with your generosity this morning. Thanks again! 🇺🇸

Greetings, WWVH followers! What's crackin'? We wanted to share something you might dig - or at least think is cool beans. Here at the Walla Walla Veterans Home, we deeply understand and believe in the value of social connections and having fun together at every stage of life. In that spirit, we have been enjoying some groovy themed Resident and Family Gathering's over the past year and a half! At these shindigs, residents, staff, and some families get together and enjoy refreshments, tell stories, get facility updates, play games, laugh and joke around, and just spend time getting to know each other better. We recently held a 70's themed gathering and had a great time! Hope you enjoy these photo memories from that evening. Peace Out, Rock On

One sign, one message, or one phone number can save a life.

Communities across the country are finding new ways to make help visible, including placing 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline signs in public spaces where someone may be struggling alone. These signs serve as a simple but powerful reminder: you are not alone, and support is available. Recent efforts in Berkeley County, South Carolina, have placed 988 signs at county boat landings to connect people in crisis with immediate help and resources.

For Veterans, reaching out can be difficult, but help is always available. If you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress, a mental health crisis, or thoughts of su***de, call or text 988 and press 1 to connect with the Veterans Crisis Line.

A conversation can save a life. A sign can offer hope. And asking for help is a sign of strength.

We would like to share a public note of gratitude and respect for Walla Walla's EMS team. Last week they brought a hospital patient to WWVH who we were told was nearing the end of their life... living out their final days. When EMS arrived and pulled up in front of the house, lowered the lift and unloaded the Veteran, they paused for a moment as the Veteran told them he'd like to just sit outside for a bit and enjoy the fresh air before going inside. The 2 EMTs listened... They truly heard this Veteran and cared enough to change up their usual routine of unloading and taking someone into one of the buildings here. Instead, they gently rolled the Veteran in his wheelchair down the sidewalk and around the corner of the building where he could get a good view of the Blue Mountains. They stayed out there for a while - enjoying the beautiful view and sunshine, soaking-in nature and fresh air just as this special Veteran had requested. Moments like these may seem brief, but they are profound for those who get to experience them. They go down in history in a much bigger way than we realize. They impact more than just the people who are immediately involved. These acts of kindness can inspire the multiplication of goodness and compassion... which is why we are sharing this story here today. Thank you, Walla Walla EMS for your service which is not only skillful and professional, but it is consistently propelled by big hearts and genuine love for others.
