80th Anniversary Tribute: CT Goes to War, with Phil Devlin (Part 2) In-Person
Few people realize that of the over 9,000 Americans buried in the famous American cemetery in Normandy 3 are women, and 2 of those women were from Connecticut! Few also realize that the highest ranking American general killed in the war was heroic General Maurice Rose of Middletown, CT, who served under General George Patton. The interesting stories of the 6 Fuller brothers from Suffield who served in the war is also part of the presentation, as is the story of Ulmont Whitehead of Hartford, killed aboard the USS Arizona during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Additionally, there are many interesting stories related to the creation of Bradley Field and the people who trained there…and more!
This event is a continuation of Phil Devlin's discussion of CT's role in WWII on June 24th. You do not need to have attended the first event to join us at this one! Please register online to save your seats.
