There are more than 567, 900 veterans living in Michigan with more than 50,000 veterans calling Oakland County home. It is an honor to assist those who have served our country, and during May we celebrate Military Appreciation Month and pay tribute to all members of all military branches, including active-duty, reserves and retired.
