A HOME AWAY FROM HOME

“I’ve had a wonderful life. I don’t know what else I could have done to make it any happier or any better—and I’m still enjoying it,” 85-year-old Alton Fritz said early last November, smiling as he sat in the living room at Hospice of Frederick County’s Kline House. “The staff and director at Kline House took every effort to recognize my father’s military service. They even made arrangements to take a photo of him with the Air “I go out and drink coffee on the Force flag on Veteran’s Day. My father was very excited about the photo. One of the deck first thing in the morning nurses even sent the photo to my phone.

Page 8 Spring 2018 Issue | Page 9 Partnering with Frederick County Veterans History Project

In the fall of 2017, Hospice of Frederick County formed a partnership with the Frederick County Veterans History Project. According to Project Director Priscilla Rall and Hospice’s Veteran Liaison and new Board Member Keith Midberry, the partnership is a win-win for both organizations.

The project’s mission is to collect, preserve and make accessible the personal accounts of American war veterans so that future generations may hear directly from veterans and better understand the realities Keith Midberry, Veteran Liason with his father’s World of war. Stories about all aspects of military life are needed to make a War II uniform. complete picture of military service.

When Hospice of Frederick County identifies a patient who is interested in sharing stories and memories of their military service, we contact Rall. She coordinates the interviews and videography, performing most of them herself. When completed, a copy is placed in the Maryland Room at the C. Burr Artz Library, another is forwarded to the Library of Congress, and as many copies as the family requests are provided to them at no charge.

Last December, Hospice of Frederick County helped plan a luncheon that was attended by more than 100 veterans of World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War era, and the Vietnam War and their family members, many of whom had been interviewed. Hospice’s Music Therapist Georgia Wells sang the National Anthem and the five Armed Services’ songs. Retired Army Colonel George Bolling, a Vietnam veteran and Hospice of Frederick County supporter from Thurmont, was the guest speaker. Colonel Bolling delivered a powerful and moving message focusing on the veterans who are still considered prisoners of war and missing in action from all wars and conflicts.

It is very important that we normalize children’s Cope with feelings when they are grieving and/or responding to traumatic events.

These types of death rob us of a sense Reassure them that the world has experienced bad of safety and security, but what must they look like things all through history but people survive, and through a child’s eyes? As frightening as traumatic that our country is working very hard on keeping death is for adults, how much more frightening is it the bad people away. Linda Goldman also suggests to those who are young and still developing? that “children create a ‘peace box’ with objects and pictures that are comforting, or make a collage of We as adults are responsible for their safety and family photographs, or draw a ‘circle of trust’ with well-being, but how does that work in such a names of people and phone numbers to remind precarious world?
