The term Veterans of Foreign Militaries (VoFM) is used to describe individuals who served in a nation, other than the United States’, military and now reside in the US (i.e., a service member of the Ukrainian Military who now resides in the US).
This guide synthesizes information obtained from We Honor Veteran (WHV) hospice partners into an overview of Veterans of foreign militaries’ end-of-life experiences and suggested best practices hospice organizations can incorporate. Given the diversity among VoFM, WHV partners are encouraged to utilize their best judgment in determining the most appropriate practices for caring for VoFM’s.
The guide includes information on:
- Prevalence of VoFM receiving hospice care from WHV partners
- Challenges experienced by VoFM at end-of-life
- Identification of VoFM receiving hospice care
- Supportive practices and practical advice for caring for VoFM at end-of-life
Our Certificates of Recognition for Veterans of Foreign Militaries (VoFM) can be customized and presented to foreign Veterans.
Template Certificates of Recognition for use with United States Veterans are available here. Please see the Veteran Pinning Ceremony Guide for more information on completing pinning ceremonies for United States Veterans.
