It was a lovely Saturday morning In Cos Cob at the gathering of Veterans on Memorial Day weekend when across the country Americans would be honoring over a million individuals who have given their lives for our freedom. Welcoming attendees in Cos Cob’s Strickland Park were VFW 10012 Service Officer Tony Marzullo, and Post Commander Joseph “Doc” Orrico.
With the First Selectman Fred Camillo present, Marzullo, in his opening remarks, thanked the St. Lawrence Society for flying the American flag and the POW flag to mark the occasion, with thanks also going to Society member Rod Laudonia for the mike and sound system. The Society was also accredited for its Meeting Room on May 14 for a VFW dinner, with Society member Tony Devita providing “great food and drinks.”
Lastly, Marzullo gave thanks to Joseph Siciliano, director of Parks and Recreation for the Post’s landscaping and for “keeping the Memorial Park clean and beautiful.”
