Reply to With Today being Iwo Jima day I just wanted to take a minute to show off CT's very own memorial in New Britain. It commemorates all that died in the battle but was mainly dedicated to the 100 men from Connecticut who lost their lives on this day 78 years ago by sporky211
Believe it or not, it's actually juuuust across the town line in Newington. A long time ago a bunch of people vandalized it, so veterans took up a 24-hour watch to guard it.

Yeah, the driveway leading into the site is in New Britain, but the statue itself is in Newington. Newington made a big deal out of this when it was first built.
