Governor Gretchen Whitmer proclaimed today Native American Veterans Day in Michigan. There are more than 140,000 Native American veterans living across these United States, and more than 2,500 call Michigan home. At Michigan Veteran Homes, we’re fortunate to serve Native American veterans when they need skilled care. And, we’re truly blessed to have many Native American veterans supporting our mission and our members with their generosity. We're grateful for the service of our Native American veterans.

Every year the Friends of Rolling Rock Ranch raise tens of thousands of dollars to support the mission and members of Michigan Veteran Homes. They provide our veterans hunting and shooting opportunities; they bring together friends and community for music, food, and camaraderie; and they include our veterans in the party. We’re humbled by - and grateful for - their selfless generosity and their impact on MVH #veterans.

At Michigan Veteran Homes, we've seen too many times the WWII veteran, the Korean War veteran, and others, who've sought care at MVH, and until their admission to a skilled nursing facility, they have never sought or received the benefits they earned in service. Encourage the #veteran in your life to seek out the benefits they earned, and deserve. If they can't do it for themselves, encourage them to do it for those they love and care about. “We have been given one mandate: inform #veterans of the benefits available to them and get them in the door for services,” he told me. “It’s an all-hands-on-deck outreach effort. The first in VA history, and certainly the largest in VA history, to get veterans to come to us.”

Today is National POW/MIA Recognition Day. It’s a day to remember and honor the sacrifices of our former prisoners of war, as well as the more than 81,000 personnel still missing – those who never made it home. It’s a day to reassure the families of those POWs and MIAs that we have not forgotten, and that America will not rest until each one returns home. At Michigan Veteran Homes, we encourage everyone to find their way to honor those brave men and women who sacrificed on our behalf, and their families. Attend a ceremony. Spend time in reflection. Learn about a POW and/or an American still MIA. Teach a young person about the day, and the sacrifices men and women make on our behalf. Reach out to the POW and/or MIA’s family member in your life, to reassure them that their sacrifice is not forgotten. Toast to those whose whereabouts remain unknown, and to America’s stalwart efforts to bring them home. Live a life that’s worthy of their sacrifice. Find your way to honor our POW/MIAs. Lest we forget.
