Hey Detroit, Big Jim here from Big Jim’s House. You know me as the voice on your radio each morning, but I’m also an eight-year U.S. Navy Submarine Service veteran.

Big Jim service

🇺🇸 Halfway to Veterans Day Campaign

I'm asking for your support of my petition to recognize May 11th — the calendar halfway point to Veterans Day — as “Halfway to Veterans Day.”or the calendar.


This petition comes from a simple belief:

Don’t wait to say thank you.


Michigan does a good job honoring veterans every November 11. But service doesn’t happen once a year — and appreciation shouldn’t either.

I’m asking Michigan leaders to formally recognize May 11th — the calendar halfway point to Veterans Day — as “Halfway to Veterans Day.”
This would be a day of appreciation, not a paid holiday and not a new government program.
Just recognition.
