- My library is working on a WWI installation for 2016. This installat...ion will include supplementary programs on WWI and culminate in a special event on Veterans Day 2016 that will include reflecting back on the project and a speaker on WWI. We will be running the options for the speaker by our City and also by our Local American Legion and VFW. In other words, I am looking for a list of current Michigan based speakers on WWI.
