Today is Veterans Day

November 11, 2021

November 11 is Veterans Day.  Today, we honor the brave men and women in uniform.  
 

Millions of individuals have served our nation in one of the branches of the military. Whether in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard, their patriotic duty required great sacrifice and I am forever grateful for their service.

Veterans Day is a great opportunity to express our appreciation to those who served, as well as honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

There will be a wreath-laying ceremony at the World War I memorial on the front lawn of the East Hartford Public Library on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. The ceremony will commemorate veterans of East Hartford from that conflict as well as all veterans, living and deceased. All are welcome to attend the ceremony. The event will be held rain or shine.

Please take a moment to thank veterans for their service and keep those who are currently serving at home and abroad in your thoughts.
