Donations are needed as this beautiful memorial was built & is maintained by donations only.
At 12:00PM The National Colors with the POW/MIA flag below will be hoisted as the Boyne City High School Band plays our National Anthem, sung by Gaeyle Gerri-Boss.
The Flag of each of the six branches of service will be hoisted in their establishment order as the band plays their anthems starting with the Army, Marines, Navy & Merchant Marines, Coast Guard, Air Force, & Space Force.
All Veterans in or out of uniform are urged to please render a hand salute to the National Colors as they pass by, are hoisted, or lowered.
