Open Discussion - for our Readers, Islanders, and Web Site Visitors alike. Discussion regarding any and all aspects of Beaver Island are welcome here. Also a place for general Beaver Island conversation and discussion.
The fly-over by the US Coast Guard from Traverse City is now scheduled for 1:00 PM on Monday the 30th, weather and operations permitting.
Also every year Brian Gallagher and Alvin Lafreniere place American flags on the gravesites of all the veterans buried on the island, over 130 flags. This year Michelle Grooters has offered to donate and place fresh flower on all the graves too. This is the first time this has been done and the AMVETS want to thank Michelle for so honoring our deceased veterans.
One thing we do every Memorial Day is remember the veterans who had ties or bonds to the island that passed away last year.
If anyone has a name of an individual that they want us to remember please email the AMVETS at amvetspost46@yahoo.com with their name and branch of service.
