SOUTH HAVEN, Mich. — Most years, South Haven holds a Salute to Veterans on this weekend in the summer. But COVID-19 restrictions pivoted this year's tribute.
The theme of the event this year was changed to be a salute to "Citizen Heroes"--first responders, health care workers, essential workers and every citizen who has followed COVID-19 safety protocols.
The tribute was a flyover of vintage World War II aircraft by the Hooligan Flight Team.
The South Haven Area Emergency Services aerial truck displayed a large American flag at an American Legion Post to great the flight team. Honor guards conducted a 21-gun salute and the playing of taps to honor fallen veterans during the pandemic.
The flyover also occurred over Bangor, Covert, Saugatuck and Douglas.
