Help needed
to complete
veterans' list
By Linda Lemmon
Town Crier Editor
PUTNAM --- Honoring Putnam's veterans --- all of them --- is something that Shannon O'Shea is passionate about.
The town employee --- and one of the creative forces behind the decorations in the Putnam Municipal Complex's grand foyer --- is still looking for veterans names to put on the Putnam Veterans Display in the complex's front window.
She researched World War I and World War II Putnam veterans with help from the Aspinock Historical Society and found other names in the Town Clerk's office and the Assessor's office.
She's put several weeks of work into the list and she said she's still adding names of veterans from Putnam since it was founded in 1855. So far she has 2,476 names but she thinks the list is incomplete.
She has all the names in a computer. If you know of any veterans names that might be missing, call her at 860-963-6800, ext. 122.
She would also welcome help from the town's American Legion and VFW posts.
