More than 100 World War II veterans
from East Haven were honored at a Public Service Awards ceremony at
East Haven High School on Sept. 30. The ceremony marked the 115th Public Service Award presentation to veterans of World
War II by the Office of the Secretary of the State.
Secretary of the State Susan
Bysiewicz presented each veteran with an award in recognition of his or
her service and invited the veterans to share their stories with
friends and family attending the event. Several veterans, such as Tony
Teodosio (left), took the opportunity to display memorabilia of their
time in the service.
