Throughout Connecticut and across the nation that afternoon, veterans past and present were shown by a grateful nation their respects. It was a day to remember those who had served their country during war and peace time, and especially those who are currently overseas and will spend the holidays season away from their families and friends. “It’s a beautiful day here to honor all those warriors who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our great country and all those who have

stepped up to serve our great country,” said Mayor Jeff Wright, “It’s fitting to put up holiday wreaths as a great way to honor those folks.” The ceremony was part of the “Wreaths Across America” program which for the past 19 years has shown its gratitude towards veterans each holiday season by placing wreaths on the gravestones of those who had devoted so much to their nation. The Worcester Wreath Company of Maine working in conjunction with the non-profit organization, “Wreaths Across America,” donated the wreaths to the ceremony. “It’s a special time to remember those loved ones that are gone in a special way. We try to live up to what they hoped we would live for, their sacrifices made our lives available, free from oppression,” said Chaplain Paul Moriarty Jr., of American Legion Post 117. The program began at noon See wreathes, Page 6 Free
