Veterans from around Michigan are invited to Lansing, for the 17^th Annual Memorial Day Service in the Senate Chamber on May 26^th.

Senator Mike Green  states, “Memorial Day brings us all together to honor and remember those brave men and women of our armed services who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and way of life. As soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen continue to stand in harm’s way for our sake, I am especially honored to be a part of the Senate’s service.  I encourage local veterans to join us as we remember Michigan’s fallen heroes.”

Lawmakers from each district will honor who gave their lives in service during the last year. Families who lost loved ones will also be recognized.

Local veterans interested in attending the May 26 ceremony, scheduled for 10 a.m., should RSVP to Sen. John Pappageorge, who is coordinating the event, by calling his office toll free at 1-877-SEN-13TH.
