Heritage
AFRH: the reward for all your sacrifices.
Back in 1811, our young nation made a “Promise” to care for its older and disabled veterans. This would be repayment for their sacrifices in defending liberty. At last, two homes were built: the US Naval Asylum in Philadelphia (1834) and the US Military Asylum in DC (1851). Since then both Homes have housed thousands of eligible, aging military veterans.
Locations
Retire on the Gulf Coast … or the Golf Course.
