Dear City Council Members:
The Air Force Assn (AFA) Michigan on behalf of their more than 1500 members statewide, is candidly stating its unequivocal support to the Brodhead Association and to our US Navy/US Marine Corps brethren for the preservation, revitalization and rehabilitation of the "Brodhead Armory" located at 7600 E. Jefferson Ave., Detroit, Michigan 48214.
AFA believes it to be in the best interests of Detroit, those who have served within the confines of the Brodhead Armory over many years, and certainly for the people of Detroit and Michigan, to preserve, protect and conserve this historic property and its treasure trove of priceless and rare artwork including precious WPA/FPA murals and wood carvings created by a host of accomplished and well-known American artisans.
AFA thanks each of our respective Detroit City Council Members for their support and commitment to this effort, and for their continuing service to the citizens of Detroit.
Sincerely,
Randolph (Randy) Whitmire
President
Michigan Air Force Assn (AFA)
