Every year, the West Conn Student Veterans Organization and Veterans Affairs Office honor veterans with both a Veterans Day Ceremony and a Field of Flags. Each flag represents a service member killed in the line of duty since the War on Terror began on 9/11. As the first flags of the 10-thousand that were to be placed on the Midtown campus had been planted by volunteers, Danbury experienced a surge in Covid-19 cases, causing the installation to be paused. For the same reason, West Conn says the Veterans Day Ceremony today is postponed to spring.
