LYME –Town officials are compiling a list of veterans from the Korean War and Vietnam War to be recognized by the state’s lieutenant governor.

The town in a release said First Selectman David Lahm will provide the list to Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz, who is planning a ceremony to honor living veterans from those wars. Veterans are eligible if they served between 1950 and 1953, or between 1961 and 1975.  They do not need to have been deployed overseas.

Bysiewicz since her tenure as secretary of the state has celebrated the state’s veterans, beginning with 15,000 World War II veterans. The program has grown to encompass Korean and Vietnam War veterans all over the state.

Lyme residents, who served in the armed forces during the specified timeframe, are encouraged to contact Lahm at 860-434-7733 or selectman@townlyme.org.
