Milford honors veterans lost at Memorial Day event
MILFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Veterans came together Sunday in Milford to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
They gathered at the World War 1 “Dough-Boy” monument in front of Milford City Hall for the annual wreath-laying ceremony.
Governor Ned Lamont, and Milford Mayor Richard Smith were there to pay their respects.
Organizers and the Mayor say they were determined to hold this event, rain or shine.
While the wreath-laying ceremony was held in spite of the weather, the town’s parade that was also scheduled for Sunday was canceled.
