As temperatures climb across Central Florida, Orlando VA Healthcare System emergency physicians are encouraging Veterans to take precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses that can quickly become serious during the summer months.

While many people may associate summer heat with inconvenience and discomfort, extreme temperatures can lead to serious medical conditions that send thousands of Americans to emergency departments each year.

Today, the Orlando VA Healthcare System had the privilege of honoring two Veterans during a Final Mile Ceremony, a solemn reminder that no Veteran should ever be forgotten.

Together, we gathered to pay tribute to their service and sacrifice through prayer, reflection, Taps, and the ceremonial folding of the American flag. While these Veterans may not have had loved ones present, they were surrounded by a grateful community committed to ensuring they received the dignity and honor they earned.

A special thank you to the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association for providing the escort to Cape Canaveral National Cemetery, and to our chaplain, staff, volunteers, and all who participated in making this tribute possible.

Today, we stood together as family, honoring two heroes on their final journey.
