This Veteran’s Day, November 11, veterans of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, will tell their stories on the stage of the University of Michigan’s Hill Auditorium punctuated by a spirited medley of patriotism and sacrifice performed by the University of Michigan Alumni Band, the Concordia University Choir and the U-M Dicks and Janes A Cappella.
“Service Above Self—Honoring Our Veterans” is a free public event thanks to The Mandell and Madeline Berman Foundation, Ardis and Mike Cicchella, and the Masco Corporation. Doors open at 6 pm. Steve Schram, General Manager of Michigan Radio, will emcee. For more information: www.vetsatthehill.org.
This performance will kickoff an effort to raise $8,000,000 to build a Fisher House—similar to a Ronald McDonald House—but for those veterans who came home to Michigan. Donors may contribute online at www.vetsatthehill.org to be assigned preferred seating for the performance.
There are more than 150,000 veterans currently undergoing care across the state’s VA Healthcare System facilities,” says Randy Ritter, retired associate director of the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. “Our military is the one percent who protect the ninety-nine percent of Americans. We can all take pride in giving back to our veterans who have given us so much.”
