Most everyone is familiar with the role that the military plays in peacekeeping, but many people don’t realize the role that the military plays in offering disaster relief and aid work. Military personnel are involved in many humanitarian aid projects, often being the first major support forces at the scene of a disaster. Following Tsunamis in Japan and Indonesia, and deadly earthquakes in Haiti, U.S. naval ships are the first to provide aid, supplies, and relief for those impacted by such disasters.
As we approach Veterans day, it is important to remember the sacrifices our veterans and activity duty military personnel have made to protect our freedoms, but also to save countless lives and provide support for those affected by disasters worldwide.
The Michigan Philharmonic honors and celebrates the work of these tireless military personnel both here and abroad with a concert featuring memorable music of wartime and peacetime. “Hail to the Veterans” on Friday, November 10th, 2018 will bring together orchestra and three children’s choirs for a memorable concert on Veterans weekend.
