State Senator Tony Hwang has hosted a Connecticut Wartime Service Medal Ceremony at Newtown High School.  Area veterans were honored during the ceremony yesterday afternoon.  The Connecticut Veterans’ Wartime Service Medal was established by Governor Jodi Rell and the Connecticut General Assembly in 2005 as a way to recognize the service of our state’s veterans. The medal includes the distinctive red, white, and blue colors along with the official seal of each branch of the US Armed Forces and the words “For Service.”
