Saluting Service Honorees & Speakers
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 and celebrate our ongoing work of ensuring that all who served in our U.S. Military have access to justice and the resources they need to overcome legal barriers to housing, healthcare, income, and recovery.
Saluting Service draws a diverse audience of individuals from across the legal, military, Veteran, healthcare, and philanthropic communities.
Cocktail or business dress recommended. Service Dress (Class A) or semiformal welcome.
Our 2025 honorees will be announced in September 2025.
