Veterans Tribute of Oakland Township

5236 Adams Rd – Oakland Township, Michigan

On Monday, August 21st, the Veterans Tribute Board held a ceremony to officially dedicated the U.S. Coast Guard glass service panel. The panel was dedicated in honor of Petty Officer Christopher J. Mayer, a local resident who is on active duty with the USCG. He was on leave and home in Michigan to visit his family who attended the ceremony with him. It was inspirational for everyone in attendance to see and talk to this young man who is proudly serving his country.  He exemplifies the Coast Guard motto of “Semper Paratus!” – Always Ready!  

The VTOT Board also wishes to express their immense gratitude to local businessman Terry Bishop and his wife LeighAnn who became the official sponsors of the USCG Panel.  This is the second service panel the couple has sponsored since 2018.  Their amazing generosity will make a significant contribution to the VTOT Endowment that funds the improvement and maintenance of the Tribute grounds.
