Danbury renames Veterans Hall for longtime City VA Director

Danbury has renamed Veterans Hall at Rogers Park for the former Director of Veterans Affairs.  A ceremony dedicating the building to Pat Waldron was held yesterday after the Memorial Day Parade.  The City Council approved naming the building located on Memorial Drive in December as "Patrick R. Waldron Veterans Hall".  Waldron fought relentlessly to help veterans, their widows and dependents for almost three decades prior to his death in October at the age of 81. 

 

Mayor Mark Boughton says renaming Veterans Hall would serve as a fitting memorial to Patrick and will honor and remember him for for his great service.  Boughton says renaming Veterans Hall represents a lasting tribute and will continue to serve as such for future generations.

 

Council President Joe Cavo says Waldron, a Korean War Veteran, was dedicated to helping others.  He called it a great testament to all Waldron has done for the City.

 

City Councilman Tom Saadi, a Major in the Army Reserves, says Patrick R. Waldron Veterans Hall will be a great way to continue his legacy of his patriotism and service to veterans, and that he could think of no other person more deserving of this honor.
