Today, on National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we pause to honor and remember the courage of our former prisoners of war, the service members who never made it home, and all families who still carry the heavy burden of uncertainty. Behind every name and every empty chair is an enduring promise: You are not forgotten.

We remember. We honor.
We will never forget.

A huge thank you to ABATE of Washington Tri-Cities Chapter, Hogs N Dogs, and the Tri-Cities community for supporting the future State Veterans Cemetery, Tri-Cities!

From a charity ride past the future cemetery site to a raffle featuring a restored 1983 Harley-Davidson XR1000, the community came together to raise funds and awareness for this important project.

Thank you to the organizers, riders, vendors, volunteers and everyone who donated or helped spread the word. Your support is helping move this important project for Veterans and their families forward!

🌺🌴 To wrap up the month of August and our “Luau” theme, we invited our residents to come and enjoy a fun and refreshing mocktail experience! And why choose just one when we could offer THREE different mocktail choices?!

Our residents enjoyed their favorite beverages from our very own mocktail bar, along with tropical music and beautiful videos of ocean views and luau dancers to create the perfect island atmosphere. 🌊💃 It was the perfect way to end our Luau-themed month—with great drinks, good company, and lots of tropical vibes! 🍍🥥Aloha! 🌴

💖 Our Activities Department is always doing our best to create meaningful experiences and bring joy to our residents.
We strive to provide activities that promote connection, engagement, laughter, and wonderful memories - all while supporting the best quality of life possible for each of our residents.

🌺 It’s the little moments, shared smiles, and special experiences that make each day brighter. We are proud to do what we can to make life at our community enjoyable, fulfilling, and full of opportunities to connect.

- Tammy Zamora

Thanks to our fabulous three, Tammy, Teresa, and Jacky, we're all feelin' the luau love and refreshing tiki bar vibes around here.

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).
