This Veterans Day, we came together at The Watermark at Bellevue to honor the courageous heroes who have selflessly served our nation.
Throughout the week, our residents created “We Remember” banners adorned with poppies, symbols of hope, resilience, and remembrance.
In addition, we were honored to welcome Sharon McCaffrey, author of Dear Mom, Dear Dad, Love Jimmy, a deeply personal tribute to her brother, James McCaffrey. Sharon, wife of our Campus Food and Beverage Director, Mark Linden, shared letters James wrote during his service in Vietnam, preserving his reflections on courage, sacrifice, and the enduring bond of family. This dedication reading offered our community a heartfelt glimpse into a young soldier’s experiences during wartime and the power of remembrance.
Together, we came together as a community to reflect, support one another, and honor our veterans, both here at The Watermark and across the nation.
