Veteran Mail Call

Serve and Honor Veterans

Through Serve & Honor, Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care honors the service and sacrifice of the Veterans in our community who are on hospice care.

Veteran Mail Call is a simple way to let a Veteran know their service is remembered, valued, and appreciated. Whether you share a personal story, express your gratitude in your own words, or simply say “thank you,” your message can bring a meaningful moment of connection.

As you write your letter or card, most importantly, be sincere. A few heartfelt words can make a difference.
