"How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!" -Maya Angelou
We are so fortunate to have so many veterans living at Wiggins Place. Each of these men and women who served our country deserve our deepest gratitude and on Friday, November 11th Wiggins Place honored our brave men and women for their part in preserving our freedom.
First Tracy Derschau, Director of Life Enrichment, hosted a special luncheon for the Wiggins Place Veterans and then brought in a house favorite, By Request, to play for everyone.
