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.

Mary was in the Airforce 1952-1955. She was at Westover, and when the wounded came in, she would be out on the tarmac doing nursing. She was always very proud to have been in the service. Some of her Organizations which she held positions on are American Legion Post 154, Disabled American Chapter 52, Amvets Post 18, Enfield Veteran Council, and was Chaplin on the CT Veterans Council. She was advent on the VA to pay for portable oxygen she had to pay for when she traveled. So, she said something at the CT Veterans Council and the State Senators and Congress members went to Washington with it, and it passed. She loved to cook and bake, so she would always do the food for after the parades.
