For Veterans Day, Smith Village honored our Residents by
serving a classic traditional service dish of Chipped Beef on Toast, commonly
referred to as SOS in our Marketplace Café.
Pastry Chef Michelle Sandifer also prepared mini patriotic cupcakes that
we sold to residents but provided complimentary to our Veterans. We also provided free flag pins to our
residents and guests to show our appreciation for all our Veterans.
Here at ShorePointe, we don’t have a large group of veterans, but we make sure to honor them appropriately. Our resident veterans enjoyed a Surf and Turf style menu of grilled ribeye and shrimp scampi, finishing out with fresh baked cherry pie. We had a guest speaker from Saint Michael’s Episcopal Church, who shared veteran news and encouraged the men to speak about their time in the service. Our veterans also brought their own war-time memorabilia to share with the crowd, including medals and letters from overseas. A great time was had by all.
As a proud mother of a future Sailor, I salute our veteran’s and give a heartfelt “Thank You” for your service!

Every Veteran's Day at The Fountains at Franklin, Dining Services invites all of the Veteran's in our community to a private dinner. This year was the largest gathering yet, with over 50 vets attending! They brought pictures and mementos to share with their fellow vets, and their camaraderie was evident as they shared stories and reminisced. Though they enjoyed the dinner of Shrimp Scampi or Salisbury Steak, the big hit of the evening was Chef Austin's creation 'Walking Tacos'. Chef set up a table in the dining room lobby with all the taco fixings, then put them right into a bag of Doritos, and gave to everyone as they were entering the dining room. This was reminiscent of war time MRE's when the troops would have to eat on the go. The residents enjoyed them along with a beer as they were socializing before dinner.
