Polly Simmons would perform a brief ceremony for veterans she visited as a volunteer with the Conemaugh Regional Hospice.
Simmons, who spent three combined decades as a reservist â first with the Coast Guard and then the Army, would thank the individual, give a certificate of appreciation and a pin, sing a patriotic song and then offer a farewell salute that was reciprocated by those still physically capable of raising an arm.
