    23rd Blue Star (2005)

    The same Garden Club, again in cooperation with the City of Allen Park, dedicated their second Blue Star Memorial on August 14, 2005.  The marker is located on the corner of Southfield Road and Outer Drive. In 2005, this was the site of a VA Hospital. Today, it is a Historical Site, known as the Veterans Memorial Plaza.

    At the dedication, Ann Zaker stated “I’m so thrilled that we’re involved in doing something in honor of the veterans – past, present and future.”
