The Rotary Club of Enfield is honoring Enfield’s veterans by sponsoring military tribute banners that will be displayed in Higgins Park, the Town Green, Freshwater Walkway, North Main Street and Hazardville between Memorial Day and Veterans Day in 2026 and 2027. The Enfield Public Library partnered with Enfield Rotary to preserve digital versions of these banners as well as biographical information about each veteran.

Charles “Chick” Cremona was a WWII Veteran and a life long resident of Enfield. He and his wife Helen (Stabach) raised 4 children in a small home on Elm street right in front of Asnuntuck college. At that time it was simply a pasture for cows! Chick was a boxer and football player in his early years and loved to play setback. As life moved on he was a member of the Mt Carmel Society, The Elks, and a proud fourth degree member of The Knights of Columbus. He loved his country and his Italian heritage. And he was an award winning dancer with his wife Helen. They loved to Polka! He lived a full life and was beloved by his family and many many friends. Truly a part of the greatest generation.
