Veterans will be recognized through the town this year, with Veterans Trees set up at the National Iron Bank, 12 John Curtiss Road, and at the Norfolk Hub, 2 Station Place. Residents are invited to add a tag to the trees making a donation to the Torrington branch of the American Legion Sailors, Soldiers and Marines Fund, which supports both active service people and veterans.
Donations can be made in cash, by personal check or through Venmo.
The Church of Christ Congregational will honor veterans with a Chapel Coffeehouse focused on “The Ways We Served, Veteran’s Service Stories” Saturday, November 8, at 7:00 p.m. in Battell Chapel. The evening will feature stories presented by Chad Gomez, Neil Normann, Jamie Robinson, Bill Eckert and Lisa Sullivan.
Coffee and desserts will be provided and a free-will offering or donations of coffee will benefit the Food Pantry.
Finally, Botelle School will again stage its veterans’ assembly on November 11, beginning at 10:30 a.m. All veterans have been invited to attend, and a luncheon will be served after the program.
