veteran groups to take part in the Hamtramck Labor Day Parade. The Bloomfield

still exist, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Lt. Raymond Zussman has the
park across from the city hall dedicated in his memory. Shown prior to the march
are Post Commander David George of Auburn Hills, Shelly Order of Oak Park,
Auxiliary President Myra Gross and Bernard Gross of West Bloomfield, Honor
Guardsmen Al Lewis and Mary Delidow of Oak Park, State Commander Jerry
