“Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy, forget in time that men have died to win them. ”
On this reverent Memorial Day, we invite you to pause and reflect on the selfless souls who gave everything to defend our freedoms.
They are our fathers and our brothers, our mothers and our sisters. They are our friends and our neighbors. They are the heroes next door. Their stories of sacrifice and courage must be preserved and shared with every generation so that we may as a community always be mindful of the selfless, brave individuals that are responsible for keeping our nation free.
This time-honored ceremony will include a speech by Brig. Gen. and War Memorial Board Member, Rolf Mammen, the Advancing and Placing of the Colors, and a recitation of the names of Grosse Pointe residents who lost their lives in service to our country.
