Berlin Seeks Military Vets Info For 'Digital Wall Of Honor'

Town of Berlin

BERLIN, CT — Those looking to immortalize loved ones who have also served their country proudly are being asked to provide photos and information to the Town of Berlin.

That's because the Berlin Veterans Commission has a “Veterans Digital Wall of Honor” in the Main Lobby Rotunda of Berlin Town Hall, 240 Kensington Road, Berlin.

The video slideshow is shown on a 50-inch Smart TV and plays in a loop every day the town hall is open.

Every Berlin resident and their immediate family members, past and present who have served or are currently serving in the military, can be put up on the wall.

Only one family member needs to be living in or has lived in Berlin.

The commission is looking for Berlin residents to provide photos, military history and/or DD 214 (release from active duty) of any family member, past or present, who has served or is currently serving in the military.

Those with photos and military history that need to be scanned can drop them off in an envelope at the Berlin Town Manager’s Office, along with contact information.

The town would like to have one or two photos, full name, dates and branch of service, rank, MOS (What they did in the service), and possible conflicts or where they have served.

If they are scanned, email them directly to Peter Galgano at petergalgano@comcast.net. or call 860-604-7258.

To see the video slideshow from anywhere in the world, the commission has set up a Youtube video, which can be seen at this link.
