Veterans Memorial To Be

Located In Hartford

HARTFORD (AP) — The proposed Connecticut State Veterans Memorial will be built in Hartford, across from the William A. O’Neill State Armory in Minuteman Park.

Governor Dannel P. Malloy’s office said it will be the state of Connecticut’s first memorial honoring all Connecticut veterans, estimated at more than 1.3 million soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines.

A volunteer, nonprofit organization called The Connecticut State Veterans Memorial is handling the funding, design, and construction of the site. The group is currently in the planning phase for the memorial.
