City of Middletown to Honor Veterans Who Served During the Vietnam Era

The City of Middletown, in collaboration with the office of Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz, will be hosting ceremonies to recognize and honor Veterans of the United States Armed Forces who served during the Vietnam Era. The ceremonies will recognize the service, dedication, and sacrifice of those who served during the Vietnam Era, who often did not receive an honorable welcome home.

During the ceremony, Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz will be presenting certificates of appreciation for current Middletown residents who were enlisted in the United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam Era. The Department of Veterans Affairs will provide each Veteran with a pin at the ceremony.

The Middletown Veterans Awards Ceremony will honor veterans who are currently residents of Middletown, who served during the Vietnam Era. The ceremony will take place on two dates. Veterans with last names that begin with the Letters A through K will be honored on October 24, 2023. Veterans with last names that begin with the Letters L through Z will be honored on October 26, 2023. Both ceremonies will be held at Middletown High School auditorium, located at 200 LaRosa Lane in Middletown. Both ceremonies will begin at 5:00pm.

If you and your family plan to attend, please RSVP by October 16th to the Mayor’s Office at 860-638-4801.
