Texas Hospitals Honor Veterans in Final Salute Program

Our next door neighbor was at the Dallas Presbyterian Hospital this past week visiting his wife and while he was there the staff starting lining up on either side of one particular hallway. He wasn't sure what was going on, but then a gurney emerged from one of the nearby rooms. The person on the gurney had died and was covered with a sheet . . . and the American Flag. A patient who happened to be a Veteran had died and the hospital staff, as well as visitors who were there, were paying their respects and saluting this deceased Vet as he was being wheeled down the corridor.

The Final Salute Program was created by Chaplain James Dorsey and Texas hospitals who are associated with the Texas Health Organization  participate in this program. Be sure to visit the linked article to find out more about this awe-inspiring program.

This is just one of those things that make Texans proud.
