The Walk of Honor creates a lasting tribute to those who served, whether at home or on the war front. Consisting of engraved bricks donated by families and organizations, the walkway tells the story of those whose lives made a difference.
Pavers honor veterans from any war as well as civilians and organizations. The honoree does not have to be a Michigan resident.

The Michigan WWII Legacy Memorial Wall of Stars will honor the 15,458 Michigan lives lost during WWII. With a total of 1,300 stars, each star will represent approximately 11 of these heroes. The Wall of Stars is at the memorial’s entrance, providing a dramatic backdrop to the statue scenes. The gold star has deep meaning, as families would hang service banners in their windows with a blue star, signifying a family member serving in the Armed Forces. Gold star banners represented family members who died in Military Operations.
The display is 10’ high by 50’ wide and will be a poignant place to honor the sacrifice of so many.
