Honoring Sacrifice


Memorial Day is right around the corner. For many, it marks the beginning of summer. As Americans, however, the day is a time to remember those who paid the ultimate price, fighting to preserve the freedoms we enjoy.


Wherever you spend Memorial Day, we invite you to pause and remember those who never returned from the battlefield.

As a way to honor and remember the 15,458 Michigan service men and women who lost their lives during WWII, the Memorial will include an imposing 10-feet high and 50-feet black granite Wall of Stars. We are currently raising funds for the Wall as well as the other elements that will complete The Michigan WWII Legacy Memorial.


We need your help as we work to complete this $2M project honoring Michigan's warfront and home front heroes. Hit the button below to make your contribution and keep reading to join us at our upcoming events!

The Memorial Garden is Taking Shape!

Members of the Royal Oak Garden Club and Memorial volunteers cleaned out and prepared the Memorial garden box, located at 13 Mile and Woodward Avenue. Over the next few weeks volunteers will be planting a variety of red, white, and blue flowers to beautify the entrance to Memorial Park.


We want to give a big shout out to the Garden Club for collecting funds at this year's Royal Oak in Bloom. The money will be used to purchase flowers for the garden.


We are also seeking volunteers to help with weeding and maintenance during the growing season. If you can to help, contact us!

I want to help!

Book of the Month

With the 80th anniversary of D-Day coming up, we thought it appropriate to promote a WWII classic for summer reading.


The Longest Day is Cornelius Ryan's unsurpassed account of D-Day, a book that endures as a masterpiece of military history. In this compelling tale of courage and heroism, glory and tragedy, Ryan painstakingly recreates the fateful hours that preceded and followed the massive invasion of Normandy to retell the story of an epic battle that would turn the tide against world fascism and free Europe from the grip of Nazi Germany.


This book, first published in 1959, is a must for anyone who loves history, as well as for anyone who wants to better understand how free nations prevailed at a time when darkness enshrouded the earth.
