Garrett Miles, an upcoming senior at Lock Haven University,
recently completed one of his graduation requirements by interning at Christ
The King Manor. Majoring in
Recreational Therapy, Garrett worked with Kim McMonagle and the activities
department from May 9 to June 24. The
department staff was impressed with his enthusiasm, professionalism, and his
ability to connect and interact with the residents respectfully and
personally. Part of Garrett’s
requirements as an intern was to develop, plan, and implement an activity. Since his future goal is to work with
wounded veterans, he decided to organize a Flag Day celebration while honoring
our veterans. His first step was to acquire
old military photographs to integrate into a certificate. These were presented to each veteran during
the ceremony and were accepted with great emotion. The DuBois Honor Guard made three beautiful presentations: a Flag
Folding Ceremony, POW/MIA Table, and playing of Taps and Gun Salute. Garrett also invited his close friend to
speak. Jared McCoy, who will be
starting Navy Seal training in the near future, gave a very moving and
emotional presentation honoring and thanking our veterans. We will miss Garrett and pray God’s presence
will continue to guide his future.
