“Not Forgotten”
Your Help Is Needed To Honor Our Veterans That Are No Longer With Us To Show That They Are “Not Forgotten” For Their Service To Our Country!
On Saturday, May 23, 2026, starting at 9:00 AM sharp at the CT State Veterans Cemetery located on Bow Lane in Middletown, approximately 13,250 American Flags will be placed to honor and show respect at the final resting place of those Veterans who served our Country.
This annual call to service was a mission led for years by Michael A. Rogalsky, a proud Vietnam Veteran. In his honor, we ask the community to join us once again to ensure the legacy of these heroes remains vibrant.
Event Details:
- Flag Placement: Saturday, May 23, 2026, at 9:00 AM (Rain or Shine)
- Memorial Day Ceremony: Monday, May 25, 2026, at 2:00 PM
