Hartford, CT — Connecticut Democratic Party Chairwoman Nancy DiNardo released the following statement in honor of Veterans Day:

“Today, we honor the brave men and women of our armed forces who have served and protected our nation with valor. All across the globe, our uniformed men and women put their lives on the line to defend our freedom. Their sacrifice, and that of their families, deserve our gratitude.

“In Connecticut and around the country, Democrats are fighting to ensure we honor our veterans in action as well as words. Whether through affordable housing, career opportunities, job training, education, or health care, veterans deserve support.

“To all veterans and active service members, and their families, thank you for your service.”
