Veterans Day Ceremony To Honor "Flag Man"
The ceremony will honor a local resident better known as "The Flag Man."

NEW MILFORD, CT - A Saturday, Nov. 11 ceremony will honor veterans at the All Wars Memorial on the town green at 11 a.m. Immediately following the ceremony will be the unveiling of a new monument in front of Town Hall. The monument recognizes Peter Orenski, aka, "The Flag Man," according to New Milford Mayor David Gronbach's Facebook page.
Orenski founded a flag design competition in 1994, which led to the creation of the New Milford flag. This flag was designed Jeanne Price, a teacher at the Fashion Institute of Technology and Design in New York City and New Milford resident.
