Memorial Day weekend events planned in honor of military heroes and Veterans at White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery in Troy

Maribeth Farkas — Thu, 16 May 2013 14:55:39 +0000

TROY, Mich. – Spending time with family and friends is a highlight for many over Memorial Day weekend. It’s also important to remember the military, both past and present, who have served our country and fought to preserve our freedom. In particular, it is a day to remember our fallen military heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice. White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery in Troy is hosting two free community events in recognition of Memorial Day weekend beginning with a Memorial Day Celebration Concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 26, 2013. White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery is located at 621 W. Long Lake Rd. (just West of I-75) in Troy.

The concert-in-the-park features a program of patriotic songs performed by The Birmingham Concert Band with conductor Grant Hoemke. A leader among community bands in Michigan, this band provides a creative outlet for a stunning array of some of the area’s most accomplished musicians.

On Monday, May 27, 2013, White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery will host the 83rd Annual WWI Polar Bear Memorial Service at 11:00 a.m. Known as “Michigan’s own” and “the Polar Bears,” the Polar Bear Expedition was a contingent of about 5,000 U.S. troops from the 85th Division, 339th infantry (mostly from Michigan) who landed in Arkhangelsk, Russia and fought the Bolshevik forces in the surrounding region during the period of September 1918 through July 1919.

An expedition under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) was successful in organizing and conducting a recovery mission in the autumn of 1929 that found, identified and brought out the remains of 86 U.S. soldiers. Another dozen remains of Polar Bear soldiers were shipped by the Soviet Union to the U.S. in 1934, which reduced the number of U.S soldiers still buried in North Russia to about 30. The remains of 56 Polar Bear soldiers were eventually re-buried at White Chapel Memorial Cemetery surrounding the Polar Bear Monument by sculptor Leon Hermant.

“Last year, more than 1,000 people attended our Memorial Day weekend events,” said David R. Krall, Vice President, White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery. “It is a special way for families to spend time together, yet honor the men and women of our military. We need to take time to pause and remember their sacrifices and celebrate their achievements.”

In addition to the two events, a boulevard lined with more than 400 American flags and leading to the Memorials in honor of WWI, WWII, Korean, Vietnam and Persian Gulf War Veterans, as well as a POW/MIA memorial, will welcome visitors to White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery.

White Chapel Memorial Park Cemetery is located at 621 W. Long Lake Rd. (just West of I-75) in Troy. For more information, visit www.whitechapelcemetery.com.
