Connecticut became the first state in the US to provide the veterans burial rights. In 2018 Congress enacted the Hmong Veterans’ Service Recognition Act that provides Laotian and Hmong with those rights in state veterans cemeteries.

There was a ceremony yesterday at the The SGU Monument in Middletown's Veterans Park. Click For: The Hartford Courant Story
