It is very important to honor the veterans who sacrificed so much in defense of our country. I thank them for all that they have done for us, and I am proud that our state honors for our wartime veterans with the Connecticut Veterans Wartime Service Medal.
In New Britain, we have a proud tradition of honoring our veterans, and so I want to make sure that the New Britain's wartime veterans receive this important honor. That is why, as the New Britain Herald reported:
I am proud to work with the other members of the New Britain legislative delegation on this special event.
As Rep. Geragosian says, "It is important to come together and recognize those who serve our country, both past and present. We are especially proud of those Connecticut men and women who have fought to keep us safe. We are grateful for their service."
Rep. Tercyak adds that, “New Britain’s men and women have a long honored tradition of answering the call to duty. These brave servicemen and women deserve our thanks and recognition that this service medal offers.”
And Rep. Boukus has said, “I would like to express my deepest appreciation to our veterans. The Connecticut Wartime Veterans Service Medal is an important way for the State of Connecticut to honor the service and sacrifice of local veterans.”
