The Orange Memorial Day Committee is seeking input from Orange residents who know a veteran, male or female, especially from the Korean War for this year’s events. The committee is honoring all veterans, but this year’s theme will highlight Korean War veterans.
Every year, the committee chooses veterans to honor during the Memorial Day ceremony on the Orange Fairgrounds before the parade. These veterans fill the roles of Grand Marshal, Chief of Staff, and Honored Veteran in the Memorial Day parade.
The committee is looking for Orange residents who were honorably discharged. There is a lot of planning and preparation that needs to be done and choosing candidates to recognize this year is at the top of that list.
If you have someone in mind, or if you know a veteran who would like to be considered, email kelliemartino@yahoo.com or kgoldberg@orange-ct.gov, or call 203-891-4738.
