This Women’s Equality Day, we celebrate the many accomplishments of strong women not only here in Connecticut but across the nation. Yesterday, I was proud to be joined by members of the Bipartisan Women’s Caucus to commemorate #WomensEqualityDay2023
Love to see the hard work these high school students enrolled in the @CTCFPC’s Introduction To The Fire Service (ITTFS) Program are putting in. Even happier to hear that these young people are considering full time careers in firefighting, EMS and more!
Happy 233rd Birthday to the United States Coast Guard! On this anniversary, we commemorate the oldest organization within our military, and we celebrate this integral branch for its valor and discipline.
Sending a heartfelt shout-out & special thanks to the brave firefighters from CT’s Interstate Fire Crew coordinated by DEEP’s Forestry Division. Their unwavering dedication and tireless efforts in battling the wildfires in Nova Scotia have been nothing short of heroic. #CTStrong
A true honor to attend the @CTVetsAffairs Memorial Day Ceremony and march in the Middletown Memorial Day parade. It was a special day to join together to remember and honor the memory of our service members who bravely gave their lives defending our country.
Thanks to everyone who attended the state’s annual Memorial Day ceremony hosted by @CTVetsAffairs at the Connecticut State Veterans Cemetery in Middletown. It was a moving tribute reflecting on all of the military heroes who have given their lives for our country. 🇺🇸
Our hearts are forever with the members of the United States military who fought for our country and whose lives were taken in the line of duty, as well as with their families who have made many sacrifices in the course of their loved one’s call to service. #MemorialDay
Today is National Teacher Appreciation Day. I went to Anna E. Norris Elementary to thank teachers for all they do. We have the best educators in the country here in Connecticut. We are so appreciative that teachers help our students learn, grow, and follow their dreams!
I have directed all flags in CT to half-staff today in recognition of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service. I urge every resident of our state to reflect upon the bravery of the firefighters who’ve given their lives in service protecting our families and communities.
It is an honor for me to announce today that I am nominating retired US Army Brigadier General Ron Welch to serve as commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs.
General Welch has more than 40 years of military service. He is an excellent fit for the position.
Each of our veterans deserves to be remembered as the heroes they were. We honor their sacrifice and their service, as well as the heroes behind the scenes, their families and friends. So today, we dedicate the DVA Auditorium as the "CT Gold Star Families Memorial Auditorium".
TODAY: Calling hours to be held for fallen 27yo #NewHaven firefighter Thomas Mieles. @KenHoustonTV1 is live on @WTNH this morning with the details. @NewHavenFire https://t.co/NzXoHJYXZR
