Each month Interim Healthcare and Hospice sponsors pie and coffee for Veterans and their families at Spears Restaurant and Pie Shop. Mary Halsig with Halsig Insurance and The Veteran Resource Center is on hand to answer questions, and the VA often sends a representative to share the latest news about benefits and to help set up appointments for claims.
Dean Epley from the Red Cross is a frequent visitor as well as Howard Hutchinson from Vet-to-Vet Support Command and the Veteran Provider Coalition. The best part is seeing friendly supportive faces and knowing that our Veterans are loved and appreciated.
One Veteran said, "We have a great time meeting and getting to know other Veterans in the community and the pie is great!"

The Park as it is now comprised was formed by an action taken by the City Council on 21 July 2009. On that date the Veterans Memorial Park of Wichita Inc. was given the responsibility of Managing the Park in accordance with the Long Range Plan agreed to by the Board of VMPWI and the City. This agreement is still in effect to this day. Ownership remains with the City and as such, permits are required for all events. Persons and/or organizations wishing to build monuments in the Park must contact the VMPWI Board for information and permission to break ground.
