Memorial Day has come and gone but won't soon be forgotten. Many Weathersfield residents gathered at the Perkinsville Green on Monday at noon to honor our fallen veterans. A wreath of flowers was laid at the Veterans Statue and two new plaques honoring Victor Jarvis and Roger Eastman were unveiled. I am sure many of you got your gardens in, that's great but I hope you spent sometime thinking about those who fought for our freedom at some point during our long weekend.
