Hi all,
 
This week we celebrated the culmination of a project 5 years in the making.
Just after I was elected, Fred Muzer (who I’ve known since he was a 4th grade teacher at Academy) let me know there was no memorial at the Capitol dedicated to the CT service members who gave their lives in Vietnam.

He was determined to do something about that—and after tracking down the 616 names, raising over $8,000, and coordinating every step along the way, he unveiled 3 beautiful plaques with the name, branch of service, and hometown of each hero.

Thank you to Fred for your leadership on making this long-overdue memorial a reality, and to the members of American Legion Griswold Post 79—and so many others—who joined us for the ceremony.
Sincerely,

John-Michael Parker
State Representative
