A MONUMENT TO VETERANS NAMES OF 31 FROM SOMERS WHO DIED TO BE INCLUDED
1999
Overview
To commemorate Veterans Day, the names of 31 Somers veterans known to have died during wartime were sandblasted Thursday onto a large rock that will be dedicated as a memorial Saturday. The ceremony is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the town green near the Olde Library on Battle Street. Local officials are expected to attend, as are members of the Somers Sportsmen's Association, who were in charge of the project. Also, local Girl Scouts will perform a flag retirement ceremony and members of the Ellington American Legion Post will raise the colors. The rock lists the names of 15 Civil War, 4 World War I, 10 World War II and 2 Vietnam War dead and includes the insignias of the five branches of the military, the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Air Force. On top is the inscription \"Somers Memorial Honor Roll in Memory of Longin Sonski.\"
