A
Message from Governor Jodi Rell
and the Connecticut State Veterans Memorial
Foundation
This year, during
Connecticut’s
375th Anniversary, I have launched a special effort to build an official state
memorial honoring the service and sacrifice of our veterans. The memorial will
be located across from the State Veterans’ Home in Rocky Hill. We will break
ground for the memorial in November 2010.
There are local monuments on many town greens across the state – but there has
never been a unified, statewide memorial. Half of the $1.2 million needed for
this important project has already been raised. We need your help to complete
the job.
An “Honor Roll of Heroes” will be displayed in a kiosk at the memorial.
Consider enrolling a veteran or current member of the Armed Forces who is
special to you – a family member or friend – by making a $1 donation to
support the memorial and have your loved-one’s name included on the “Honor
Roll of Heroes.”
Your donation will help make this project a reality and forever celebrate the
special service member you choose to honor.
Please help us today by donating a dollar and filling out the attached form.
There will be centrally-located donation collection points at banks throughout
the state for people to drop off their dollar donation as well as the attached
information card. Donation cards are also available at the participating
banks.
If you prefer mailing in
your donation card and contribution, please make checks payable to
Connecticut State Veterans
Memorial and
mail to: Connecticut State Veterans
Memorial, Inc., c/o. Rockville Bank,
P.O. Box 660, Rockville, CT. 06066.
