Assisted Hospice Care in Phoenix, Arizona, celebrated the remarkable life and service of Veteran Army Specialist Mr. Roger Dawson (SP4 E-4) with a heartwarming We Honor Veterans Pinning Party. Mr. Dawson, a sharpshooter during his two enlistments, was stationed in Oahu starting in 1959. The event featured his love for country music, karaoke and his talent as a prolific music writer.
During the party, Mr. Dawson sang a song he co-wrote in 1991, titled “From the Bottom of My Glass,” recorded in Nashville with a studio band. Despite losing his wife two years ago, he cherishes her memory through photos and her extensive collection of roosters in the home they created together.
The Assisted Hospice team was deeply honored to recognize Mr. Dawson’s service, listen to his stories, and enjoy his music. As a We Honor Veterans partner, Assisted Hospice Care remains committed to providing comprehensive care and support to veterans like Mr. Dawson, ensuring they receive the respect and gratitude they deserve for their service to our nation.
We Honor Veterans is a program in partnership with the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The program aims to recognize and support veterans at the end of life by providing specialized care that addresses their unique needs, experiences, and sacrifices.
