Memorial Day is a solemn day that asks Americans to remember and honor the members of the United States Armed Forces who made the supreme sacrifice while protecting our freedom. First Selectman Vicki Tesoro states, “A member of our community, Vin Lipinski, suggested we could celebrate this most important day while maintaining proper social distancing rules.” Lipinski asked for all Trumbull residents to join together by stepping out onto their porch, patio, yard, or driveway at 12:00 noon on Monday, May 25, 2020 to applaud, ring bells, blow horns, shout and cheer for a full 60 seconds.
First Selectman Tesoro states, “This year is like no other, but together, the cheers will be heard echoing from the Merritt Parkway to Route 25, from the Pequonnock Trail to Unity Park, and not only will the families of lost servicemen and woman hear our support, but also the Trumbull Police Department, Trumbull EMS, Trumbull Fire Departments, medical personnel, and all the essential employees that have kept us safe during these difficult times.”
