(COVENTRY) — On Monday night, State Representative Tim Ackert (R-8) joined Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz to present official citations recognizing the bravery and service of several Korean and Vietnam War Veterans. The event was held at the Coventry High School Veterans Auditorium and included brief speeches followed by a segment where veterans could share stories and ask elected officials questions.

“I am grateful to the Department of Veterans Affairs for organizing this ceremony, acknowledging the service of so many local veterans,” said Ackert. “It is my pleasure to meet and know fellow veterans who continue to positively impact and serve their communities through managing small businesses, participating in volunteer events, and simply as role models in their families. A special congratulations to all veterans who received awards last night!”

The Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs offers various resources for local veterans and veteran organizations, all of which can be found here. Also, never hesitate to reach out to Rep. Ackert with your questions, ideas, and concerns by emailing Tim.Ackert@housegop.ct.gov or at 860-240-8700.
