Friday we were reminded of the rich history of Detroit music. We spent the evening with Rhythm Corps at St. Andrews Hall and it was just what one would expect. Amazing music and friends, amazing crowd, and a part of Detroit's rich fabric. So glad to have been there, and to see that throughout time, being a part of the Motor City is truly special and unlike anywhere else, whether its military history, car culture, hockey, or amazing music. Thanks to Michael, Davey, Ritchie, and Greg for keeping the music alive and making it our 'Common Ground'.

Today we closed a bit early for the honor of attending volunteer Ethan's wedding. It was a beautiful day and we wish Haley and Ethan, or as we now know them, Mr. and Mrs. Eddy all the best as they start their married life. Feel free to post your congratulations for the couple.

Today we finished installing our sign holders with the new slim profile bases designed and fabricated by our Board member Brian. They make a much cleaner presentation and also put the signs at a great level for all to read!

This weekend we honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in Somalia. We have several exhibits at the museum to honor the service of those who were there including some of the flex cuffs used to detain the Somali gang members seized in the Mogadishu raid commonly called Black Hawk Down. Never forget those who served....
