About This Memorial
The Michigan War Veterans Memorial, dedicated in 1939, honors Michigan's military veterans from all wars and conflicts, including the Civil War, Spanish-American War, and World War I. Located in Detroit, the memorial features four sides adorned with approximately 250 stones representing veterans organizations across the state, topped by an eternal flame. It was designed as a lasting tribute to those who served their country, with a dedication emphasizing their sacrifice. Over time, the memorial has fallen into disrepair, requiring significant restoration to return it to its original condition. The memorial's historical significance is underscored by its timing, being dedicated just days after the start of World War II.
