Summary
During June 2010, AMVETS Post 46 circulated five Michigan orders directing United States flags to be lowered for one day in honor of service members. The notices connected Beaver Island’s veteran organization to statewide military memorial observance.
Evidence limits
The forum preserves the notices and their circulation, not a record of which island flags were lowered or of any associated local ceremony.
