Memorial Day Town Ceremonies

Once again this year on Memorial Day, May 26, the East Haven Veteran’s Council in conjunction with Mayor Joseph Maturo, Jr. will honor all those who made the ultimate sacrifice. As Memorial Day remains a day when we remember and honor those veterans who lost their lives fighting for our great nation, The Town of East Haven will continue the tradition of honoring the war dead with ceremonies of a reflective tone.
