Londonderry on the Tred Avon proudly honors the veterans in their community on Veterans Day and throughout the year. Thirty-two veterans live and work on campus, the majority of them having served in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
“Our veterans bring richness to our community and connect us to the service and sacrifice of our nation’s military,” said Christine Harrington, Londonderry on the Tred Avon CEO. “We are always looking for ways to show our appreciation and learn from their experiences.”
On Veterans Day, Londonderry’s veterans will gather for a special lunch in their honor. At the event, each veteran shares their branch of service and many also tell stories from their military experience. The Armed Forces Medley is also played to recognize each branch of the military.
Also on Veterans Day, a Missing Man Table is placed in the Tred Avon Tavern in the Londonderry Community Center to honor the ultimate sacrifice of those who served and never came home.
Finally, Londonderry recently launched a new addition to its website that honors the veterans in the community. A page now features a photo of each veteran as well as a summary of and anecdotes from their time in the military. Each profile was written by Londonderry residents who were honored to tell the stories of their neighbors.
All are welcome to meet Londonderry’s veterans at https://londonderrytredavon.com/honoring-our-veterans/.
