Each year the Connecticut Veterans Legal Center comes together to celebrate Veterans Day by honoring those impacting the lives of Connecticut Veterans. We also use this as an opportunity to raise funds to provide free legal services for Veterans who are in recovery from homelessness, mental illness, and substance abuse.
The 14th Annual Saluting Service took place on Thursday, November 9th, at the historic New Haven Lawn Club and was attended by 190+ guests from the legal, business, philanthropic, and Veteran and service member communities.

In addition to our three honorees, Jason DeViva, Ph.D., Cindy Johnson, and Minority Veterans of America, the 14th Annual Saluting Service featured special guest MC Chaz from Chaz and AJ in the morning, and performances by Art of Huckleberry.
