SIMSBURY, CT — Several area veterans were honored with wartime service medals at a special ceremony at Simsbury High School last week.

State Sen. Lisa Seminara, R-Avon, and area officials on Sep. 16 presented wartime service medals to local veterans.

“This was a beautiful ceremony in Simsbury where we came together as a community to honor our veterans,” said Seminara in a statement.

“Far too often, veterans’ sacrifices go unnoticed. This was an opportunity for us to show our respect, admiration and gratitude for these brave men and women. They selflessly sacrificed so that we may continue to enjoy our way of life.”

The Connecticut Wartime Service Medal is available to Connecticut Veterans who have performed at least 90 days of wartime service as a Connecticut resident.
