This Memorial Day, we remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom—including Venerable Father Emil Kapaun.

Father Kapaun was a U.S. Army chaplain during World War II and the Korean War. On the battlefield, he was known for his fearless bravery, running through intense gunfire to rescue wounded soldiers, administer Last Rites, and offer comfort. Even in a POW camp, his unwavering faith, humor, and selflessness kept countless soldiers alive until he ultimately succumbed to illness in 1951.

He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, and his cause for sainthood continues today.

Today, we honor his legacy of courage, faith, and service. May we never forget the price of our freedom.

Thank you AMTA! Hopefully this encourages more massage therapists to work with the VA.

AMTA recently sent a letter to request the Committee’s assistance and intervention to address a flawed  Department of Veterans Affairs payment policy for Massage Therapy provided under the VA Community Care Network program.

At Respite Therapeutic Massage, we've always considered ourselves closer to healthcare and fitness professionals, rather than a luxury service. As such, we're moving to a gratuity-free model to align closer to our friends in those fields. Rates have been slightly adjusted to reflect the changes.
The greatest compliment is your return business and your referrals. Instead of a gratuity, please consider scheduling your next visit or passing our name along to someone you care about.
