East Haven Man to Reconstruct Foxon Park WW II Memorial

East Haven man to reconstruct Foxon Park WW II Honor Roll

 

Louis Mingione, a retired firefighter and East Haven resident, would like to rebuild the Foxon Park Honor Roll that once stood opposite his residence at 109 Old Foxon Road. The Honor Roll was constructed in the early 1940s and listed the names of Foxon residents who served in World War II.  

The reconstucted Honor Roll will stand at 97 Old Foxon Road, at the corner of Rose and Brennan streets and will again list the names of those who served from Foxon in second world war.
