New London Mayor Appoints Veterans' Liaison

Post from the Office of Mayor Finizio:

Mayor Finizio appointed Ryan Henowitz as the City of New London’s volunteer Veterans’ Liaison.

“I am proud to appoint Mr. Henowitz to this position,” said Mayor Finizio. “He has the experience, the ability and the commitment to serve his fellow veterans well.”

Henowitz served in the U.S. Army as a medic with the 2nd Battalion 7th Infantry Regiment from 2001-2006, and was stationed in Kuwait and Iraq from January 2003 to August 2003 and from January 2005-December 2005.

He has volunteered and worked with New London Veterans Organization, Iraq Veterans Against the War, and Vietnam Veterans Against the War. He graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University with a bachelor’s degree in political science.

“Advocating on behalf of veterans has always been a priority for me,” said Henowitz. “I understand firsthand the difficulties that our veterans face when they complete their military service and adjust to life as a civilian. This transition can be difficult, as it was for me, but by having an advocate for our veterans we can work together to make this transition as seamless as possible.”

“I would like to thank the Mayor for appointing me to this position,” Henowitz concluded. “Being able to serve the City of New London and my fellow veterans is not an only honor, but a privilege.”

Henowitz can be reached at (860) 961-2600 or veterans@ci.new-london.ct.us.
