CT Wartime Vets Service Medal Ceremony

We began the month of October with a fitting tribute to some local heroes from across our area in Plainfield.

I had the opportunity to attend the Connecticut Wartime Service Medal Ceremony at Plainfield High School, where 125 veterans were recognized alongside their families for their commitment to service and sacrifice to our great Nation.

I was proud to join State Senator Heather Somers, my colleagues in the House State; Representatives Anne Dauphinais, and Doug Dubitsky, Plainfield First Selectman Kevin Cunningham, Griswold First Selectman Tina Falck, and other members of our community for this meaningful event.

I am so grateful for our veterans and to all the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve in defense of our freedoms. Their courage, sacrifice, and commitment to our country and our communities deserve our sincere thanks and lasting appreciation.

These ceremonies are always very special to me, and it was truly a privilege to be part of such an important day honoring those who have given so much to defend our freedoms and way of life.
