New Haven commemorates Memorial Day with two ceremonies
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Veterans, city leaders and neighbors gathered on Long Wharf in New Haven on Sunday to honor those who gave their lives in service of the United States.
The event took place at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Park
'As a veteran, I do mostly interfacing with people who aren't veterans, so it was great to get the invite,' said retired Navy SEAL James Hatch. 'It's actually kind of magic, this line being a longitudinal line intersecting with Vietnam, which I thought was an incredible story.'
