Veterans from different time periods over two centuries, living in Holliswood Center, the 314-bed nursing and rehabilitation facility on Woodhull Avenue in Jamaica, Queens, did something that can only be done on a very special day like Veterans Day.

For the lack of a better phrase, they shared "war stories".
