Monday, May 25th, is our chance to remember Veterans for the sacrifices they have made for us...and to remember those that made the ultimate sacrifice. Make certain that if you see a veteran this weekend to thank them for their service. Freedom is not free, and it is through the bravery and sacrifices of our veterans and active service personnel that we have the privilege of living in a free country.
If you are in Cadillac on Memorial Day, there are a few events that you can attend to honor our veterans. There is a service and a 21-gun salute to our sailors scheduled to take place at 9:30am at the Cadillac City Dock. Immediately following is a parade that will make its way down Mitchell Street, turn left at Pine Street, and then end at the Veterans Memorial Stadium at Cadillac High School. There will then be a program at the stadium beginning at 11am.
You can also help our veterans by making a donation to the permanently endowed Wexford-Missaukee Veterans Endowment Fund. (Your donation is also tax deductible!) The Fund was created to help Veterans who have emergency financial needs. Checks can be mailed directly to the Foundation offices with a note in the memo portion of your check that designates the Veterans Fund.
The Foundation offices will be closed Friday May 22, and reopen Tuesday, May 26 at 8:30am.
