2009 Canton Salute to Service at the Village Theater at Cherry Hill

Canton is proud to honor area service men and service women who have served and who are currently serving in our Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserves. On Wednesday, November 11, a “Salute to Service” ceremony will take place at the Village Theater at Cherry Hill, located 50400 Cherry Hill Road from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m., which will recognize our military personnel currently in active duty and our veterans for their exceptional commitment and dedication.

The public is encouraged to attend this free event, presented by the Canton Community. Photos of Canton residents who are presently in our Armed Forces will be on display, as well as additional military memorabilia. A short program will take place on the Village Theater’s main stage starting at 7 p.m., featuring music by Workman Elementary School Choir, under the direction of Keri Mueller, and Kristina Austin Scarcelli, Mrs. Michigan 2006.

The evening’s Master of Ceremonies will be Todd Caccamo, Canton Township Trustee and John Santomauro, Canton Township Public Safety Director, will present the keynote address. A short video presentation, featuring the first-hand recollections of local WWII veterans, will be introduced by John Anthony, Canton Township Trustee. In addition to the formal presentation, the Michigan Military Moms will be on hand collecting items for service men and women who are currently serving overseas.

Join us as we salute all veterans, living and deceased, and especially those active duty military men and women who are currently serving in harm’s way in faraway places and across our homeland.
