📸🌸 Photography & Gardening Come Together at the Carlton R. Rouh Veterans Center 🌸📸Last Thursday, June 18, 2026, following our weekly Coffee & Conversation gathering, our veterans enjoyed a special combined edition of Photography with Tom MacPherson and Gardening with Trevor Shaw.This unique hands-on experience brought together two of our most popular programs as veterans worked side-by-side planting beautiful flowers in front of the Carlton R. Rouh Veterans Center while learning photography techniques to capture the beauty of nature around them.Trevor Shaw shared gardening knowledge, demonstrating proper planting techniques and explaining how flowers and green spaces contribute to a healthier, more welcoming environment. Gardening provides veterans with a sense of purpose, accomplishment, relaxation, and connection to nature—important benefits that support both physical and emotional well-being.At the same time, Tom MacPherson guided participants in photographing the flowers they had planted, teaching composition, focus, lighting, and creative ways to capture nature through the lens of a camera. Photography encourages mindfulness, creativity, patience, and observation skills while helping veterans see the world from a new perspective.Together, gardening and photography create a powerful combination. One allows veterans to create beauty, while the other allows them to preserve and share it. Both activities encourage veterans to slow down, connect with the present moment, reduce stress, build confidence, and enjoy meaningful social interaction with fellow veterans.A special thank you to Trevor Shaw and Tom MacPherson for their dedication to our veterans and for continually providing engaging and enriching programs that make a difference in their lives.We would also like to recognize and thank Jim Whiteside and Elaine Eichman for their ongoing efforts to keep the grounds of the Veterans Center clean, maintained, and beautifully mowed. Their hard work helps create a welcoming environment that our veterans, visitors, and community can enjoy every day.Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this special day a success. Together, we continue to grow, learn, and build a stronger veteran community.#SpectracareFoundation #CarltonRRouhVeteransCenter #Veterans #Photography #Gardening #HealingThroughNature #Community #VeteranWellness #CoffeeAndConversation #LindenwoldNJ … See MoreSee Less

🇺🇸 Happy Father’s Day from Spectracare Foundation 🇺🇸Today, we proudly celebrate and honor all fathers, especially the brave men who have served and continue to serve in our nation’s Armed Forces.Fatherhood and military service share many of the same values—selflessness, sacrifice, courage, leadership, commitment, and unconditional love. Whether you served on the front lines, supported your family through deployments, or continue to answer the call to serve today, your dedication has helped shape not only your families but also our nation.To our Veteran Fathers, thank you for the sacrifices you made to protect the freedoms we enjoy every day. Your service did not end when you returned home. You continued serving as mentors, role models, providers, and protectors for your children, families, and communities.To our Active-Duty Military Fathers, we recognize the challenges of balancing military responsibilities with family life. Your strength, resilience, and devotion inspire us all.We also remember and honor those military fathers who are no longer with us. Their legacy lives on through the values they instilled in their families and through the freedoms they helped preserve for future generations.Today, we celebrate every father who has worn the uniform, every father who has supported a loved one in service, and every father who continues to demonstrate honor, integrity, and love both at home and in service to others.From all of us at Spectracare Foundation and the Carlton R. Rouh Veterans Center, we wish you a joyful and meaningful Father’s Day surrounded by family, friends, and those who cherish you.Thank you for your service.Thank you for your sacrifice.Thank you for being a father.Happy Father’s Day!💙 With gratitude,Spectracare Foundation#FathersDay #veteranfathers #militarydads #veterans #MilitaryFamilies #HonorOurVeterans #ThankYouForYourService #carltonrrouhveteranscenter #spectracarefoundation #HonoringOurHeroes … See MoreSee Less
