Staging 8:00 AM, Parade 10:00 AM. The Michigan Department of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW) as part of the Michigan Civil War Sesquicentennial has invited the 7th Michigan to participate in the annual Detroit Veterans Day parade. For people wishing to stay overnight on the 4th, arrangements have been made with the Historic Fort Wayne Coalition for them to stay at Historic Fort Wayne in the Barracks. Last year, over 56 members from 24 local SUVCW Camps from all over Michigan and Civil War reenactment organizations marched in the parade. The parade is sponsored by the Metro Detroit Veteran’s Coalition and is considered an official Michigan Civil War Sesquicentennial Event. This is a chance to help honor our Civil War Veterans along side of the veterans of America’s other conflict.
