Honoring Heroes: How Fairmont Communities Celebrate Veterans Day

At Fairmont Senior Living, honoring our nation’s veterans is more than a tradition—it’s a heartfelt tribute to those who’ve served with courage and dedication. Across each of our communities, Veterans Day is an opportunity to gather, reflect, and celebrate the brave men and women who proudly wore the uniform. From pinning ceremonies to student-led tributes, each Fairmont community embraces this day with gratitude and reverence.

Here’s how our five locations are commemorating Veterans Day this year:

Fairmont Senior Living of Washington Township

Honoring Every Branch, Celebrating Every Life

In Washington Township, Veterans Day is a community affair filled with meaning and remembrance. This year, as in years past, residents will attend a special ceremony at Oakview Elementary School in Kettering. Each branch of the military will be represented by a veteran from the community, giving local students the opportunity to learn firsthand from living history.

Additionally, Fairmont of Washington Township will host a deeply moving Veterans Pinning Ceremony, in partnership with Day City Hospice. Each veteran is individually honored with a pin and certificate, surrounded by fellow residents and staff who are proud to thank them for their service. This ceremony creates a powerful moment of connection and respect that is cherished by families and staff alike.

Ceremonies, Songs, and Celebrated Service

At Fairmont on Clayton, honoring veterans includes both solemn ceremonies and joyful celebration. The community will host a patriotic music program where residents can sing along, reminisce, and share stories about their time in the service. Military personnel have also been invited to join, adding an extra layer of connection to those still serving today.

In partnership with a local hospice organization, veterans at Clayton will also receive personalized certificates and pins, formally recognizing their service. It’s a thoughtful blend of music, memories, and appreciation.

Taps, Tradition, and Timeless Gratitude

Farmington Hills brings tradition and reverence to their Veterans Day events. Last year, a volunteer trumpet player performed “Taps” and gave a brief history of its emotional significance. That moment will return this year, along with a partnered pinning ceremony, where each veteran is individually thanked and recognized for their service.

The ceremony fosters deep respect among residents, staff, and families—and creates an environment where history and heroism are honored with dignity.
