Congratulations to honorary Michigan state president of the Children of the American Revolution, Rodney Modell on a successful state project that raised over $13,000. A dedication ceremony took place downstate at Great Lakes National Cemetery on Oct. 20th to dedicate “The Battle on the Homefront Memorial” monument. We remembered and honored veterans that lost their battle at home to suicide. Thank to all that traveled from near and far to attend, and a special thank you to senior state president Deb Rakoczy for her hard work in making this project a success.
