For the 24th year, the Scouting America Michigan Crossroads Council is inviting the community to join as they lead the day-long “Scout Salute” at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum.
It’s meant to pay tribute to those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
At sunrise (7:19 a.m.) and sunset (7:59 p.m.) color guards from the Grand Rapids Police and Fire Departments lower and raise the flag outside the museum.
Also part of today’s events at GRFPM:
- 5:30 p.m. Salvation Army Band performs
- 6 p.m. Program featuring speakers Grand Rapids Fire Chief Brad Brown and Grand Rapids Police Chief Eric Winstrom
- 7:59 p.m. Final salute with Echo Taps by the Salvation Army Band
Events are being hosted across Michigan today if you can’t make it to Grand Rapids…
