Veterans Day: East Haven Honors Those Who Served This Monday

East Haven will pause, reflect and take time to honor the service of the town's entire veteran community this Monday, Nov. 11.

And two recently retired local service members will also be individually recognized for their contributions during the town's annual Veterans Day ceremonies this year.

Event Details

This year’s Veterans Day ceremonies, organized annually by the the East Haven Veterans Council, will take place at the War Memorial on the East Haven Town Green beginning at 11 a.m.

Local veterans, as well as various town and state officials, will be leaving the American Legion Post 89 on Thompson Avenue starting at 10:45 a.m. to march down Main Street to the town green to render honors. 

Town Honors Two

At that time, the veterans council will recognize two East Haven residents recently discharged from the United States Marine Corps: Bill Paulson and Frank “Bugle Boy” Atwater.

All veterans are invited to attend the service and take part in the walk to the town green. Of course, the public is encouraged to attend. 

Following the ceremony, all attendees are invited back to the American Legion Post 89 Hall on Thompson Avenue for coffee and pastries.
