It was an honor to join the Stonington Harbor Yacht Club for their Wounded Warrior boating event and to help welcome our veterans and their families before they spent the day on the water.
Thank you to everyone at the Stonington Harbor Yacht Club for the invitation and for organizing such a meaningful tradition. Bringing our veterans, service members, volunteers, and local community together in this way is a wonderful reminder of the gratitude we owe those who have served our country.
I was grateful for the opportunity to speak and wish everyone a safe, relaxing, and well-deserved day on the water.⛵️🌞
I enjoyed joining today’s Mystic Pride celebration and saying a few words to help kick off the festivities.
It was great to see our community come together for a day of celebration, connection, and support. Thank you to the Greater Mystic Chamber of Commerce for organizing another wonderful community event that brought so many people together in downtown Mystic.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe Pride! 🏳️🌈
