Some seniors travel for pleasure, while others take journeys to find care that suits their needs. Harvest of Aledo Senior Living recently celebrated one of its memory care residents, distinguished Air Force Veteran Chester S, with a trip of a lifetime.

The community arranged this special Miracle Moment for him on Veterans Day. And what a day it was: Chester’s service and dedication to the country were commemorated during a special trip to the Fort Worth Aviation Museum.
