rans.” With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, November 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars. On Wednesday, November 11, 2015, the Detroit Police Department’s Eleventh Precinct will be sponsoring the 8th Annual “Veteran’s Day Parade and Luncheon” at the Light Guard Armory, located at 4400 East 8 Mile, Detroit, MI., 48234. This year will be the first year we will have the pleasure of incorporating a City Wide Parade in honor of our Veterans in conjunction with our annual Luncheon. The starting point and staging area for the Veterans Day Parade for participants will convene at 9:00 am, location, Belmont Shopping Center on East 8 Mile and Dequindre. The parade will promptly step off at 10:00 am headed to the destination of the Light Guard Armory (2 blocks east of Ryan Rd.). The Veterans Day Program honoring our Veterans will take place directly after the parade. Lunch will be served along with Gifts Bags given to our Veterans. There will be approximately Five Hundred plus (500+) Veterans (and family members) of all Branches of Service honored for their dedication and service to the United States of America.
