Army veteran and musician Bill Kliewer shared patriotic songs with residents at Asher Point Independent Living of Waco.
WACO, Texas (KWTX) - Veterans at Asher Point Independent Living of Waco were honored Wednesday with a Veterans Day celebration featuring patriotic music from a fellow veteran.
More than a dozen veterans live at the community, according to Asher Point. The celebration gave community members an opportunity to thank them for their service and hear their stories.
Bill Kliewer, a retired Army veteran and musician who played in an Army band, shared patriotic songs with residents. He said Veterans Day is a chance to reflect on freedom and thank those who served.
“I’m glad to be able to celebrate it and I just love coming to these homes and and let people remember a lot of these songs that they don’t get to sing very often,” Kliewer said.
Kliewer said he enjoys seeing residents’ reactions and hearing them sing along.
“Oh yeah, that’s great,” he said. “It really is.”
A barbecue dinner was also served as part of the celebration at the community at 3209 Village Green Drive in Waco, Texas.
