Connecticut Veterans Hall of Fame

The Connecticut Veterans Hall of Fame honors veterans who served their country and have now dedicated themselves to their community through public service - they are currently accepting nominations for the 2017 class.

The awardees will join the 126 current and former citizens of Connecticut that have been inducted to date. If you know a veteran who has made a difference in your community, I encourage you to nominate him or her for this distinction. Veterans can also be inducted posthumously.

Nominees must meet the following qualifications:

• Must have resided in Connecticut for a minimum of five years.
• Meet the definition of a "veteran" under the Connecticut General Statutes 27-103.
• Have received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Armed Forces and provide discharge papers verifying honorable military service.
• Be of good moral character and have no felony convictions.

The deadline for nominations is September 29. The application and instructions are available here. I look forward to honoring the 2017 class of veterans for all they have done for their country and their communities.
