Camp Grayling Joint Maneuver Training Center (CGJMTC), in collaboration with the Michigan Army National Guard (MIARNG) Survivor Outreach Services Team (SOS), hosted the inaugural Boots on the Ground Heroes Memorial and a ceremony to honor fallen service members on July 13, 2024, in Grayling, Mich.
MIARNG SOS coordinators were available at the Camp Grayling front entrance from July 13 through July 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., to assist families interested in participating in the memorial. The public was encouraged to bring one combat boot per fallen service member to be displayed outside the entrance. The SOS Team provided a flag and a name tag for each boot, which could be decorated.
The MIARNG SOS Team is part of a broader Army program designed to provide long-term support to families of fallen soldiers. The program offers outreach and assistance regardless of a loved one’s Army component, duty status, location, or manner of death. The SOS program aims to support families of Army National Guard, Army Reserve, and active component soldiers through a network of coordinators and financial counselors located at SOS offices across the country.
