Memorial Day Community Parade Committee

History & Dedication

The Royal Oak Memorial Day Parade Committee was formed in the Fall of 2008, comprised of 10 people dedicated to ensure the continuance of the high quality of our Royal Oak parade that has been held for more than 4 decades to honor the dedication of all of our Military Forces, both past & present.

Planning for parade is a year-round task.  The Committee meets monthly, and strives to improve the parade each year, while maintaining the high standards that are expected of such a premier event dedicated to honoring our veterans so that their sacrifices will never be forgotten.

One of the Committee’s primary goals is to reach out to all those who wish to show their respect to our Veterans.  This is one of the most prestigious parades held in Michigan and the high standards of this parade have held true for decades.  By reaching out to the younger generations and teaching them why we need to continue to honor our Veterans with the respect and dignity the Committee is dedicated to keeping this a solemn event for generations to come.

We are pleased to announce a special addition to this year's parade. The Navy Band Great Lakes wind ensemble will be performing at the parade. Thanks to Suburban GMC for sponsoring the group! Visit the website to learn more about the Navy Band at: http://www1.netc.navy.mil/nstc/navyband/

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on Parade Day!
