Home Instead Honor at Harry’s Table by Cipriani-2025

Home Instead® and Joy Bauer Celebrate the Power of Cooking for Longevity. Collaboration kicks off with a NYC event focused on how caregivers help older adults age well at home by assisting with meal prep and nutrition.

Home Instead, Inc., an Honor company, the world’s leading provider of in-home care for older adults, has teamed up with renowned nutrition expert and TV personality, Joy Bauer, to spotlight the powerful connection between nutritious food, longevity, and meaningful aging in helping older adults age at home.

As a trusted voice in wellness and a #1 New York Times bestselling author, Bauer has built a career around helping people feel their best through food. Her collaboration with Home Instead centers on a shared belief: healthy aging begins at the table with caregivers helping to lead the way.

“Cooking with–and for–my parents is the ultimate feel-good! It’s quality time together, and it enables me to fuel their health and vitality,” said Joy Bauer. “I’m excited to team up with Home Instead to demonstrate how nutritious meals can help older adults thrive, using simple and delicious recipes that provide joy at every age.”

To mark the start of this meaningful collaboration, Bauer joined Home Instead in New York City for an intimate media event focused on Cooking for Longevity: sharing recipes, meal prep tips from Home Instead Care Pros, and stories that highlight how food can fuel wellness and connection at every age.

With adults over 65 now outnumbering children for the first time in history, the demand for aging support is skyrocketing, while the supply of caregivers struggles to keep up. This collaboration addresses that growing care gap, showing how Home Instead Care Pros can step in to provide vital help with nutrition, meal prep, and daily routines that support healthier aging at home.

“As we face a growing care gap, solutions like nutrition and meal support aren’t just nice to have, they’re essential,” said Seth Sternberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Honor, the parent company of Home Instead. “Our work with Joy Bauer highlights how services, like those Home In stead’s Care Pros offer, can help bridge that gap and empower older adults to stay healthier and more independent at home.”

As more people choose to age at home, the support of a Home Instead Care Pro can make this easier. From personal care and medication reminders, to companionship, transportation, and nutritious meal preparation, Care Pros help older adults maintain independence, preserve dignity, and continue living life on their own terms.

Close to 100 people were in attendance at Harry’s Table by Cipriani, 235 Freedom Pl S, New York, a Demo and dinner was prepared by Joy Bauer, which each of the guests enjoyed.

Speeches made by Seth Sternberg, CEO & Co-Founder, Lakelyn Eichenberger, PhD, Gerontologist and Caregiving Advocate and Care Professionals with Home Instead.

It was a very important event, how seniors and our aging population can stay home and get the care they need and eat nutrition food and to live a better and healthy lifestyle.

New York City Veterans Day Parade – 2024

BY: Adal Hussain, Chief  Editor for World Liberty TV, @ 25th St &   5th Ave NYC, Mon Nov 11 th 2024

Honor Ruck, 9/11 Memorial and Museum’s Salute to Service and Wreath-Laying Ceremony, Honoring Service Members that precede over nation’s largest Veterans Day Parade.

On Mon November 11th 2024, beginning 12-30pm, the 105th Annual New York City Veterans Day Parade- the nation’s largest commemoration service, marched up Fifth Ave, from East 25th Street to East 45th Streets in honor of our nations Veterans.

The parade that is produced every year, by the United War Veterans Council (UWVC), is expected to feature nearly 300 marching and vehicle units and welcome 20,000 participants from across America.

Representing every service branch of the military and every era, thousands of veteran’s military members, service organizations and youth cadets participate with marching bands, floats, motorcycles and vintage vehicles adding to the celebratory atmosphere.

Ahead of this year’s parade, the UWVC and its partners, hosted a series of ramp-up events.

On Sunday, November 10th, veterans and active military participated in an honor Ruck (fitness march) from the Eternal Light Flagstaff at Madison Square Park to the World Trade Center Reflecting Pools.

The ruck ended with an speaking program, featuring 9/11 Memorial and Museum’s President and CEO, and United States Air Force Veteran Elizabeth L. Hillman, alongside the United States Marines Corps as part of the Museum’s annual salute to service, a tribute that honors those who served in the military , as well as the families and communities that support them.

Right before the parade, the annual wreath laying – ceremony took place, with the wreaths presented by veteran representatives, public officials, foreign allies, and senior military leaders.

Which included: Grand Marshall Dakota Meyer, Honorary Marshalls, Mercedes Elias and John Escalante.

United Veterans War Council, President and Executive director, Mark Otto. Veteran’s and currently serving military personnel.

About Grand Marshal Dakota Meyer:  is a former United States Marine. A veteran of the War in Afghanistan, he was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Battle of Ganjgal on September 8, 2009, in Kunar Province, Afghanistan.

Meyer is the second-youngest living Medal of Honor recipient, the third living recipient for either the Iraq War or the War in Afghanistan, and the first living United States Marine in 38 years to be honored.

On November 6, 2010, the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General James F. Amos, told reporters during a visit to Camp Pendleton, California that a living United States Marine had been nominated for the Medal of Honor. Two days later, Marine Corps Times, an independent newspaper covering Marine Corps operations, reported that the unnamed person was Meyer, citing anonymous sources. CNN confirmed the story independently two days later.

On June 9, 2011, the Marine Corps announced that two other Marines on Meyer’s team in Ganjgal would receive the Navy Cross, the second-highest award for valor a Marine can receive. Capt. Ademola Fabayo and Staff Sgt.

Juan J. Rodriguez-Chavez were recognized for their roles in retrieving the bodies of the fallen Marines and Corpsman. Before Meyer began searching for the missing servicemen on foot, Rodriguez-Chavez drove a gun truck into the kill zone with Fabayo manning the truck’s machine gun.

When President Obama’s staff called Meyer to set up a time for the president to inform him that he would be given the Medal of Honor, they were told Meyer was working at his construction job and were asked to call again during his lunch break. He was awarded the Medal of Honor in a ceremony on September 15, 2011.

When a White House staffer contacted Meyer to arrange the ceremony, Meyer asked if he could have a beer with the president and President Obama agreed to the request.

He received an invitation to the White House to meet Obama in the afternoon before the ceremony. Meyer also requested that when he was honored, simultaneous commemorative services should be held at other associated locations to honor the memory of his colleagues who died or were mortally wounded during the ambush and his rescue attempts.

About United War Veterans Council:  The mission of the United War Veterans Council (UWVC) is to honor and serve America’s veterans.

We are dedicated to ensuring that the public always embraces its commitment to provide all veterans and their families with the care, recognition and opportunities they have rightfully earned.

The United War Veterans Council (UWVC) traces its lineage back to groups founded by veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898). These groups continued activities and traditions established by veterans of the Revolution and the War of 1812.

The modern UWVC was revived in 1985 by a group of Vietnam veterans, initially for the purposes of salvaging the New York City Veterans Day Parade, which was on the verge of extinction.

Today, that Parade has grown into the largest Veterans Day event in the nation, drawing tens of thousands of participants and hundreds of thousands of spectators.

Going forward, the UWVC is being led by our latest generation of Iraq, Afghanistan and Post-9/11 veterans.

We are building on past successes by focusing our efforts on our Health and Wellness Programs, and Legacy and Education Initiatives. Our goal is to ensure that the UWVC will continue to honor, support, and serve veterans for years to come.

The UWVC Foundation is the 501 (c) (3) arm of the United War Veterans Council. The Foundation supports UWVC’s initiatives to honor and serve our veterans.

It was a very well attended parade thousands of people in attendance from all over the world, to support veterans and military personnel.
