The Veteran Wellness Creative Class is underway at The War Memorial!

This is a new creative wellness experience designed specifically for veterans. Over the next few weeks, participants will explore memoir, poetry, fiction, and visual design while connecting with fellow veterans in a supportive, creative environment.

We’re proud to make this program possible thanks to generous grant support from the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Legacy Funds Grosse Pointe Community Assets Program.

We’re incredibly grateful for their investment in meaningful opportunities that support and strengthen veterans in our community!

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible staff at Great Lakes National Cemetery for the important work they do every day to honor our nation’s service members and veterans. 🇺🇸

Earlier this week, staff from The War Memorial joined community members for a cleanup effort at Michigan’s largest veterans cemetery. It was a meaningful opportunity to give back to those who have given so much for our country.

We’re proud to continue our partnership with Great Lakes National Cemetery on Nov. 5 with a VetConnect Seminar Series at The War Memorial.

On Tuesday morning, employees and community partners from the War Memorial of Grosse Pointe visited the Great Lakes National Cemetery for a few hours. They were graced with some amazing weather while they volunteered to help maintain the beauty of our national shrine and it was great talking with them. The War Memorial is truly a beautiful place if you've never visited them and they put on a lot of events for Veterans and the public. A huge thank you for your work!
