🎸 A Gift of Harmony and Hope 🎸

Yesterday, the Aleda E. Lutz VA Medical Center proudly hosted a dedication ceremony celebrating the generous donation of a Franciscan guitar from the Bay Veterans Foundation.

This beautiful gift symbolizes peace, simplicity, and joy, and will be displayed in our chapel as a lasting source of comfort and inspiration for Veterans. Through VA Chaplains, Veterans will have the opportunity to play the guitar—bringing music and healing to those who served.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Bay Veterans Foundation for their support and commitment to our Veterans. 💙
