Wednesday, November 11, 2026 · Cities · GSM News

DETROIT — At 8 a.m. on November 11, the Detroit-Wayne Joint Building Authority held its sixth annual Veterans Day Remembrance at the Veterans Memorial Plaza of the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, at 2 Woodward Avenue.

During the ceremony, JROTC cadets from Western International High School of the Detroit Public Schools Community District raised the flags, attendees observed moments of reflection, and guests viewed a newly installed Vietnam Veterans mural. The day before, the municipal center had also hosted a flag-raising for the U.S. Marine Corps' 251st birthday.

Kwesi Betserai, manager of the City of Detroit's Office of Veteran Affairs, sent Veterans Day greetings to the city's veterans through city channels that day; he said Detroit is home to about 22,000 veterans.
