To Remember--







--and thank!

From the earliest conflict with indigenous people, the Pequot War of 1637, to the War in Iraq our family members have shown their patriotism by doing their part for us and our country. So many members have served whether over the seas or here at home. One uncle enlisted in the army in 1933 and was discharged after losing a foot from a land mine in Korea. Many served in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, both WWI and WWII, and the conflicts that have followed. For the time spent in danger or during quiet times helping to secure the country, we thank each for their commitment to the country and for the time spent away from families and loved ones.

Thank You to all veterans and all members of the armed service as we remember and honor you today.
