We are happy and proud to report that a valued customer, Unique Expressions LLC of Ferndale, MI has been exclusively licensed by the US Navy to make and sell commemorative apparel for the commissioning of the U.S. Navy ship the USS Detroit. (You can see all the gear and how it was presented on the local news in this video.) This means that a percentage of sale proceeds will benefit the men and women on active duty, and will be sent to the “Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Fund” of the United States Navy. The commission ceremony will take place on October 22, 2016 at 11:00AM. It will be down at the GM Riverwalk at the Renaissance Center but if you don’t already have tickets, you might be out of luck. It seems that there were complimentary general admission tickets available but due to the overwhelming response, they are no longer accepting names on the wait list. But according to the USS Detroit website, there are sponsorship opportunities still available. But whether you already have a ticket or not, you can still be suited up in all the official USS Detroit gear. To order your gear, you can go to this website. Here’s the story behind the USS Detroit, which will be the sixth US Navy Ship named for the city of Detroit:
