DANBURY — U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn, joined Mayor Mark Boughton Saturday to thank and honor veterans at the city’s Farmers Market held in Kennedy Park.
“Without our veterans, we would never be as strong and free as we are today,” Blumenthal said. “They are the ones who enable us to be here, gather as we please, worship as we wish and speak as we would like — all those freedoms are due to our vets.”
