This in from Governor-elect Dannel Malloy:
“Today we pause and remember the men and women who have served in our nation’s Armed Forces, protecting our homeland and our way of life. Regardless of whether they volunteered for the job or they were called to duty, their sacrifice, selflessness and bravery should serve as an example to us all. When she created the “Connecticut Wall of Honor” in 2007, Nancy Wyman made sure that the men and women from Connecticut who served our country and paid the ultimate price were never forgotten. It’s a small, but important remembrance, for the servicemen and women who died in the line of duty, as well as their families. Nancy and I personally thank Connecticut’s many Veterans, but also those members of the Armed Forces from our state who are serving overseas today.”
