FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chester, Connecticut – The Connecticut Veterans Bulletin, an independent statewide publication, is issuing a heartfelt call to action to bolster the initiative of the American Legion Post in Chester to enhance the Veterans War Memorial on Middlesex Avenue. Informed by a Facebook post by the Town of Chester, the Connecticut Veterans Bulletin was made aware of the fundraising effort by Connecticut Veteran Marc Younquist and is now championing the cause to honor and commemorate our nation’s Veterans.
The American Legion Post in Chester, with a longstanding commitment to honoring Veterans from the Civil War to present-day heroes, is seeking to enrich the Veterans War Memorial in a profound manner. The proposed addition of a bronze rendition of “The Soldier’s Cross,” as detailed in the shared information, aims to pay tribute to the memory of fallen comrades in a deeply personal and reverent manner.
The Connecticut Veterans Bulletin, unaffiliated with the Town of Chester, stands in solidarity with the American Legion Post in Chester’s noble endeavor to enrich the war memorial and ensure that the sacrifices of our nation’s defenders are never forgotten. The proposed addition of the Soldier’s Cross, crafted by the same artist responsible for the majestic eagle adorning the memorial, represents a poignant culmination of efforts to immortalize the selfless service and sacrifice of our Veterans.
In light of this important cause, the Connecticut Veterans Bulletin calls upon communities statewide to join hands and support this initiative. To offer your support or learn more about the fundraising effort, please contact Jane Cable at cable_jane@yahoo.com.
