Memorial Day weekend kicked off today and I had the privilege of spending it with the CT Fallen Heroes Organization, their supporters, and some of Connecticut's Gold Star families! This organization gives their all to honor our fallen and our veterans who still live on! My day began with fundraising on the golf course and spending time thanking and talking with a veteran from the Battle of the Bulge! The respect I hold and the wisdom I learn from our veterans never ceases to amaze me!
This particular appearance was incredibly special to me because I was also recognized for my dedication and work on multiple fronts for our military men and women. I was awarded a scholarship on behalf of Private First Class Eric Soufrine and his Gold Star family. I am struggling to find the right words to describe this honor and this responsibility. I am looking forward to living and representing his legacy with pride, determination, and honor! So blessed 🌟XOXO Lauren
