Join Gov. Malloy at Vets Cemetery for Veterans Day Ceremony
The Connecticut governor will visit Middletown, Central Connecticut State University in New Britain and Bridgeport Monday for wreath-laying events.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is traveling to Middletown Monday to participate in the annual wreath-laying ceremony at the Connecticut State Veterans Cemetery.
In honor of Veterans Day, the governor will join state and local officials for a bill-signing ceremony at 11 a.m. in Bridgeport to celebrate passage of two new state laws improving services for Connecticut’s veterans.
The first, Public Act 13-57, provides honorary diplomas for Vietnam Era veterans who left high school early to join the armed forces. The second, Public Act 13-224, allows municipalities to increase the additional property tax exemption for “100% disabled” veterans with limited income from two to three times the veteran’s base exemption.
At 2 p.m., Malloy will join veterans, military officials and other local and state leaders for the annual Veterans Day wreath-laying ceremony at the Connecticut State Veterans Cemetery in Middletown at 317 Bow Lane.
Earlier in the day, at 11 a.m., veterans and others will gather on Middletown's Veterans Green for a memorial ceremony. All are invited.
At 3 p.m., Governor Malloy will participate in Central Connecticut State University’s Veterans Day Observance Ceremony in New Britain.
All are welcome.
