Military Appreciation Month

May 18, 2021

May is Military Appreciation Month. It's only fitting that the House passed H.B. 5592, ensuring that ALL veterans, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity, get the benefits and respect they deserve. Thank you for your service. 

The East Hartford Veterans Commission will honor our Veterans by placing an American flag at the Veterans' headstone for Memorial Day.
  • What: Flag placing ceremony
  • When: Saturday, May 22nd, 8:00am
  • Where: Hillside Cemetery

We welcome all volunteers who want to honor our fallen Veterans. Volunteers are encouraged to bring a long screwdriver to help make a hole for the flag shaft.
