Veterans’ Services

America’s current and former servicemen and women are the greatest embodiment of American ideals. These brave men and women have proven their devotion to their fellow citizens and our nation. At Green Hills, we believe we all owe veterans a debt of gratitude and respect. One of the best ways we demonstrate that gratitude is to respectfully and lovingly care for veterans and their families during one of life’s most difficult times.
