By MIKE MARTINDALE | The Detroit News | Published: May 22, 2021 ROYAL OAK, Mich. (Tribune News Service) The mayor and city commissioners were notified Friday by two veteran organization commanders that they aren t welcome at a parade and ceremony honoring military veterans on Memorial Day. Elected officials traditionally appear at the popular parade and related events in Royal Oak and most of the city officials uninvited Friday are up for re-election in November. The unprecedented action follows a back-and-forth dispute over the relocation of the current Veterans Memorial in Centennial Common to another site because it did not fit in with city architectural plans for the public area.
