‘American Heroes’ exhibit

Belmont Village has a new, permanent photography exhibit featuring its residents who served in the U.S. military.

“American Heroes: Portraits of Service” includes photos of 12 veterans living at Belmont Village in San Ramon. The portraits were taken by Thomas Sanders, an award-winning photographer and the author of two photography books, including “The Last Good War: The Faces and Voices of WWII.”

The exhibit was celebrated with a Veterans Day ceremony at the luxury senior housing community.
