The Michigan Jewish War Veterans and Ladies Auxiliary were one of only two
veteran groups to take part in the Hamtramck Labor Day Parade. The Bloomfield
Township-based organization has a special interest in the history of Hamtramck.
Aside from the many Jewish merchants who started in the city and some who
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
Order of Oak Park and Chief of Staff Harmon Tron of Southfield.
