Copy of VETERAN'S VIGIL & LUMINARY CEREMONY

On Wednesday, November 10, 2021 at 5pm, the 5th Annual Veterans Vigil & Luminary Ceremony will be held to honor all Veterans, especially those so close to home in our Wolcott Community. The event will serve to promote the GREEN LIGHT A VET Advocacy Campaign and encourage individuals to keep a green light lit year round at home and/or the office. The ceremony will also include a special presentation by VFW Post 1979 Color Guard, ENCORE SINGERS with support from Mayor Thomas Dunn, Senator Rob Sampson and Rep. Gale Mastrofrancesco. We will give thanks to our Servicemen and Servicewomen who continue to fight for our freedoms and to keep us safe. Luminaries will mark this special occasion and may be purchased and personalized to light up the Wolcott Town Green that evening. All names and supporters will be read aloud during the ceremony. Please provide that information via email ([email protected]) once your luminaries are purchased. We pledge our support and respect for the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much. This year we will also highlight a special area to honor the 13 soldiers lost during the August 26th attack at Kabul Airport in Afghanistan. Proceeds from this year's luminary sales will benefit the H.A.V.E. (Help A Veteran Everyday)Organization and the Patriots' Day Initiative.

Please note in the event of inclement weather on Wednesday, November 10th, the program will be moved to an indoors location TBA.
