Jennifer Musone, Administrator and Helen Peterson, Resident, hung yellow ribbons on the iron
fence outside Juniper Village this year. The yellow ribbons have held special meaning in our US military for over Four Centuries. Yellow is the official color of the armor branch of the U.S. Army and has grown in popularity through the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis to the 90's in the Gulf War to Desert Storm and most recently the Invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. Whatever your political views or your memory attached to your yellow ribbon, we at Juniper Village, honor our military families throughout the year and continue to support our extended Juniper Families. Most of our Residents and Associates have families that have or are currently serving in our U.S. Military. Our most senior resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, recalls in her lifetime, living through WWI, WWII, the Korean War, and all wars to present day..."Anyone serving in our US Military should be honored!"
This Memorial Day, Juniper Village honored our Residents who served in our US Military with the assistance of State Representative Brad Roae and our Local VFW Post 2006 Color Guard. Please take a moment of silence with us to honor those brave soldiers who have paid the ultimate price, as "freedom is not free."
