Connecticut Veterans' Wartime Service Medal Ceremony

I was honored to address recipients of the Connecticut Veterans' Wartime Service Medal at the special ceremony recently in Shelton. The medal is given by the Department of Veteran's Affairs to all military personnel who served in a time of war. During this moving ceremony, 347 medals were awarded to veterans with qualifying military service who live in Shelton. We did a similar ceremony in Stratford, and more are being held throughout the state.
