ABOUT THE MILAN VETERANS WALL OF HONOR

Milan residents, Tom Dupuis and Michael Armitage came up with the idea of building a Veterans’ wall of honor in Milan, with the Blue Star and World War II memorial.

The City of Milan, the Milan Garden Club, VFW, Beautification Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, American Legion and Moving Milan Forward provided additional support.

This wall is unique and includes the names of not only those that are deceased, but anyone from Milan who has honorably served in our military. The City of Milan’s Veterans wall is the only community in Monroe or Washtenaw County to have such a comprehensive tribute. 

Veterans who reside/resided or attended school in Milan (in the 48160) and have honorably served in the United States military are eligible to have their name engraved on the Milan Veterans Wall of Honor.

MILAN VETERANS WALL OF HONOR SUBMISSION FORM

If you would like to honor a Milan veteran by having their name engraved on the wall, complete the submission form and submit it to City Hall along with a $125 engraving fee payment.
