MISSON STATEMENT: 

“Last Patrol” --- BEFRIENDING, HONORING, and SUPPORTING veterans in hospice. 

 

PURPOSE

Our veterans served America. They protected us and our way of life. We must stand by them. Our veterans know about patrolling land, sea, and air. Veterans in hospice are on their final fight  and in their last patrol. Whether it goes by the name “battle buddy” or “shipmate” or  “wingman” --- all veterans understand that tough assignments are best faced together. 

 

EXECUTION

Last Patrol connects veteran volunteers to hospice care providers caring for veterans in end-of-life care. We cooperate with hospices around the county to bring our services. Hospice care takes place in private homes and facilities in communities across America. We encourage  volunteerism, fellowship, and cooperation with hospice providers and nursing homes to bring new friendships when friendship matters most --- so a veteran’s last patrol isn’t alone.
