CT Wartime Service Medal Ceremony
Photos from the CT Wartime Service Medal Ceremony are now available to view. We’re honored to help capture and preserve these special moments recognizing Connecticut’s wartime veterans and their service.
It was great to be in Windsor Locks to celebrate the rebuilding of a gazebo that has a special history in our community.
More than 20 years ago, Brandon, an Eagle Scout, built the original gazebo as part of his service to the community. Today, the Windsor Locks Lions Club has helped bring it back to life by rebuilding it for the next generation to enjoy.
Thank you to the Windsor Locks Lions Club for continuing to invest in our community and preserving a project with such a great history. It was wonderful to see Brandon back there and be part of this full-circle moment.
I joined the Enfield Community Cat Project at the State Capitol in Hartford to stand with animal advocates in support of Bradley’s Law.
Our community cats and domestic animals deserve compassion, protection, and a voice. I’m proud to stand alongside the volunteers and advocates who work every day to care for animals in need and push for stronger protections across Connecticut.
Thank you to the Enfield Community Cat Project for bringing this important issue to the Capitol and for all the work you do in our community.
It was an honor to host our Veterans Wartime Service Medal Ceremony in Enfield on Saturday and recognize the brave men and women who served our country during times of war.
These veterans made tremendous sacrifices to protect our freedoms and our way of life. It was a privilege to hear their stories, thank them for their service, and celebrate their contributions alongside their families, friends, and fellow members of our community.
Thank you to all of our veterans for your service and sacrifice.
