Memorial Day at Grosse Pointe War Memorial
*The event has already taken place on this date: Mon, 05/25/2026
On this reverent Memorial Day, the community will gather on the lakefront lawn of the historic Alger House, to pause and reflect on the selfless souls who gave everything to defend our freedoms. They are our fathers and our brothers, our mothers and our sisters. They are our friends and our neighbors. They are the heroes next door. Their stories of sacrifice and courage must be preserved and shared with every generation so that we may as a community always be mindful of the selfless, brave individuals that are responsible for keeping our nation free. This time-honored ceremony will include musical tributes, remarks of remembrance and honor, and a recitation of the names of Grosse Pointe residents who lost their lives in service to our country.
