All proceeds will go to the non-profit VTOT for use in finishing construction, maintaining and improving the most beautiful Tribute to our Armed Forces in all of Michigan.

This year, the VTOT is proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds raised at the event will be donated to the Detroit Michigan Fischer House to support Veterans who are at extended, VA medical stays in the Detroit Area. https://www.fisherhousemichigan.org/va-detroit-fisher-house
The VTOT Board wishes to thank to Congresswoman Lisa McClain (the US House Representative for the Michigan 9th District), all our Guests, all the attendees and especially, ALL OF THE VETERANS who came out November 11th for what was a fantastic Veterans Day Ceremony!
The VTOT site is looking superb today thanks to the generous and dedicated efforts of a team from Marine Wing Support Squadron 471 (MWSS-471) out of Selfridge ARNG Base. Under the direction of Gunny Dan Love, the Marines spruced up our landscape and planted our fall flowers in record time. The VTOT Board wishes to give them a huge salute of gratitude. SEMPER FI!
On Monday, August 21st, the Veterans Tribute Board held a ceremony to officially dedicated the U.S. Coast Guard glass service panel. The panel was dedicated in honor of Petty Officer Christopher J. Mayer, a local resident who is on active duty with the USCG. He was on leave and home in Michigan to visit his family who attended the ceremony with him. It was inspirational for everyone in attendance to see and talk to this young man who is proudly serving his country. He exemplifies the Coast Guard motto of “Semper Paratus!” – Always Ready!
The VTOT Board also wishes to express their immense gratitude to local businessman Terry Bishop and his wife LeighAnn who became the official sponsors of the USCG Panel. This is the second service panel the couple has sponsored since 2018. Their amazing generosity will make a significant contribution to the VTOT Endowment that funds the improvement and maintenance of the Tribute grounds.
There is no better lasting way to recognize a veteran’s service to the country than by including them on a memorial brick in the Tribute walkways. Tribute pavers are available to honor any military person or organization and are not limited to Oakland Township residents
