At the Eastern CT Veterans Community Center we recognize and value the contributions that you—our
veterans and active duty military personnel—make to our community in your role as students, employees,
business owners, parents and community leaders.
We understand the sacrifices you have made through your
service to our country and appreciate the leadership and broad experiences you bring to our lives, our
community and our center.
We welcome veterans and military families from anywhere but focus our outreach on the communities in
Eastern CT, from the Massachusetts border to the shoreline and from the Rhode Island border to east of the
CT River
