Belmont Village Westwood Celebrates WWII Veterans

Belmont Village Senior Living Westwood held an opening reception last week for the new photography exhibit called American Heroes: Portraits of Service which features the images and stories of WWII-era veterans and beyond. Each resident veteran was presented with a keepsake photo and Sanders’ book, The Last Good War: The Faces and Voices of WWII. Military personnel participated in honoring the twenty-six veterans.
