About the Book
Located in the heart of scenic Napa Valley, the Veterans Home of California (VHC) in Yountville, is a community of U.S veterans, mostly in their senior years.
Founded in 1884, the VHC-Yountville is the largest veterans’ home in the United States, offering residential accommodations with a wealth of recreational, social, and therapeutic activities for independent living.
Some 1,000 aged or disabled veterans (both men and women) from World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, and Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom now live at the home.
In 2006 I was given the opportunity to spend time at the VHC, meeting with several veterans from 20th century conflicts. I worked alongside the press information officer to capture stories and photographs of life, and death, at the home.
