“This year’s annual ceremony in the Windsor Veterans Memorial Cemetery will feature a color guard, a rifle volley and playing of Taps, and readings by members of local clergy and veterans, to be followed by a three-gun salute and the ceremonial laying of wreaths by local Boy Scout Troop 149 and volunteers from Kaman Aerospace Corporation,” explains John C. Carmon, whose father, World War II veteran Frank W. Carmon Jr., founded the firm. “My father received three Purple Hearts and the Distinguished Service Cross, among other decorations, during World War II, and this annual project is a way of remembering him and all U.S. veterans. The Carmon family and staff are pleased to again join Wreaths Across America to honor their lives and their service.” Windsor’s annual Wreaths Across America ceremony program began 12 years ago when the national organization reached out to the Hispanic-American Veterans of Connecticut, Inc. (HAVOCT). Carmon Community Funeral Homes, Windsor American Legion Post #59, and community groups, including local Boy Scouts of America troops, then joined them and the event in the Windsor Veterans Memorial Ceremony has grown larger every year since. Wreaths to be placed on December 18th in Windsor Veterans Memorial Cemetery’s Wreaths Across America ceremony should be ordered and paid for no later than Friday, December 10th. To order on line, go to www.WreathsAcrossAmerica.org. To order directly with Carmon Community Funeral Homes, contact Lisa Carmon at 860-688-2200 or LCarmon@carmonfh.com |
