Turnback Tuesday remembers and thanks those who defended our country and our freedom.
The American Legion in Shelton is called “Sutter-Terlizzi American Legion Post 16.” Charles Sutter of the U.S. Army was the first Shelton soldier to die in WWI and Angelo Terlizzi of the U.S. Navy was the first Shelton soldier to die in WWII.
The post was formed by WWI veterans in 1919 and is one of the original Legion Posts in Connecticut.
Thanks as always to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history.

I thought I'd share some NYC foliage just for fun.
