The community is invited to visit The War on Terror Remembrance Wall at White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery in Troy from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Sept. 5-7.
The WOR is the only traveling Memorial Wall paying tribute to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice dating from 1983 Beirut, Lebanon Marine Barracks bombing, through the 2021 withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan.
The WOR has provided memories and closure to Veterans and Gold Star Families as well as to those families and First Responders impacted by the attacks on 9/11.
The Eighth Annual Patriots Race will take place at 9 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 7, at the cemetery to benefit the Michigan Wounded & Returning Warrior Program, a 501(c)3, American Legion member organization supporting veterans.
This year’s event marks the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Accordingly, there will be a moment of silence at 9:03 a.m. in memory of the 9/11 Tower 2 attack.
In competitive runners’ circles, White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery’s 210-acre park-like setting is known for having the flattest and fastest course in Michigan.
The Patriots Race includes a 10k and 5k timed race followed by a 1M run/walk. (Discounts are available for veterans and groups).
—Country Music Concert
The Country Music Concert featuring Stephen Cochran, Sal Gonzalez and Billy Gunther will begin at 10 a.m. along with the awarding of medals. Top finishers will receive gold, silver and bronze commemorative dog tags. Prizes also will be awarded for “Most Patriotic Attire.”
Patriots Race participants will be treated to food and beverages generously donated by local restaurants, coffee shops and other local businesses.
White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery is long known for its on-site events to honor U.S. veterans. Participants will pass by monuments to veterans from WWI, WWII, the Korean, Vietnam and Persian Gulf Wars as well as MIA combat troops.
“We are honored to welcome the War on Terror Wall of Remembrance and invite the community to stop by to recognize our heroes,” said David R. Krall, White Chapel vice president. “The country music concert featuring Stephen, Sal and Billy is a special way to round out the Patriots Race.”
Other highlights include:
