12,700 American Flags for Memorial Day Were Posted Today

In Middletown's Ct. State Cemetery

Middletown's Michael Rogalsky organized Veteran groups, Scout Troops, Youth Groups, Public, Community Organizations,to honor and remember those Veterans who served our Country came today to show their sacrifices are “NOT FORGOTTEN”. Also donations were collected for Wreaths Across America that will be placed in December. Last year we met our goal of Remembrance Wreaths that were available to be placed on the final resting place of those Veterans allowed to receive one.
