Flags To Fly Half-Staff, Benefits To Vets Expanded For Memorial Day

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- Flags in Fairfield County should fly half-staff from sunrise until noon Monday in honor of Memorial Day, Gov. Dannel Malloy and Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman announced. 

"Connecticut is deeply grateful to our military and their families for their sacrifices,” said Malloy, who will march in the Memorial Day parade in Danbury on Monday morning. “This weekend is an opportunity for our communities to come together and reflect on the generations of men and women who have fought and died to make our nation a better, stronger place.”

Also for Memorial Day, Malloy on Friday signed into law a series of bills expanding benefits and services for U.S. military veterans.

“This Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who we’ve lost while fighting to make our nation a better, stronger place. As we honor those we have lost, I’m pleased to be signing into law a number of bills that honor and assist those who have served,” he said. 

The new bills signed into law are:
