Connecticut Trees of Honor Memorial is pleased to announce plans to construct a living trees memorial in
With a goal of honoring the 63 Connecticut servicemen and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan, the memorial will encompass a beautifully designed space that will include a tree planted for each of our State's heroes who gave their life serving their country. A personalized plaque will be displayed next to each tree.
The memorial will be funded and constructed with public donations and volunteer efforts. It will also feature walkways, flower gardens, benches, flagpoles, statues and lighting.
It will be a serene, reflective area where families, friends, and visitors can be reminded of the valiant courage, bravery, and selflessness of our Connecticut men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives in military service to our country.
Trees, benches, flagpoles, walkway bricks, and statues will be donated or purchased from contributions to the Memorial Fund. Donations to "Connecticut Trees of Honor Memorial, Inc. (CTHM, Inc.)" c/o Colleen Dowd, Treasurer, P.O. Box 234, Windsor, CT 06095 * 501(c) 3 Status Pending
