One of our patients in Myrtle Beach is a proud Marine. He finds great joy in sharing the tales of his military service. Among his many distinguished moments is his time serving at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. His time there stands out as a pinnacle of honor and dedication. 

Our Volunteer Coordinator and Army veteran, Kasey Sheridan, recently traveled to Washington, D.C. Understanding the significance of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to the patient, she took the time to visit it, capturing pictures and videos to share upon her return. 

Kasey presented a challenge coin—a symbol of camaraderie and achievement among those who have served— and the photos to our patient. He was overwhelmed with emotion. As she handed him the coin, tears filled his eyes. This coin represented not just his service, but also the bond shared with fellow Marines. His face lit up, and he felt a profound connection to the images. Each one a reminder of where he had once stood proudly. 

This encounter exemplified how simple acts of kindness can create profound memories. In that shared moment of connection, the spirit of service and camaraderie was celebrated. It reminded us all of the power of honoring those who have served.  

Each quarter, we choose the best example of our team honoring their patients’ Three Most Important Things. This act of service is celebrated as our best example for Q2. Thank you to everyone for your dedication to what our patients value most.
