Honoring Our WWII Heroes 🫡

At the West Hartford Veterans Day Ceremony, we proudly recognized two incredible Veterans:

⭐️Tony Allen (Army), 97 years young
⭐️ Ben Cooper (Army), 103 years young

These gentlemen are living history and true examples of courage and service. We honored them at the ceremony, and we want to honor them here too! Next time you see these amazing men, make sure to say hello 👋 and thank them for their sacrifice.

🫡We salute you, Tony and Ben! ❤️
