REPS. TABORSAK, GODFREY AND COMMANDER RICH RAYMOND
HOST DANBURY VETERANS’ FORUM

State Representatives Joe Taborsak (D- 109 District) and Deputy Speaker, Bob Godfrey (D-110th District), together with Catholic War Veterans (CWV) Commander, Rich Raymond hosted the 2011 Danbury Veterans Forum at the Catholic War Veterans’ Hall in Danbury.

The forum featured guests, members and representatives from federal and state veterans’ organizations who discussed programs and initiatives currently available, and others in the process of becoming available.

"My fellow veterans have given so much for our country that we are thankful for," said Godfrey. "I applaud each and every one of them for their unselfish contributions. This Forum is to show them about the many ways we can return the favor, through state and federal assistance that will help them."

"I am pleased to have partnered again with Rep. Godfrey and Rich Raymond of the Catholic War Veterans to host another great Danbury Veterans' Forum,” Taborsak stated. “By having this open public forum, local Veterans are able to speak directly to their state and federal government about issues affecting them. If we are able to help even one veteran today, the event is worth it to me."

"The Catholic War Veterans of Danbury are pleased to provide the facilities for the Veterans’ Forum,” said Commander Raymond. “We thank Rep. Joe Taborsak, Deputy Speaker Bob Godfrey and the other participants for devoting their time and effort to assist our veterans in a variety of ways."

Both, Godfrey and Taborsak worked with CWV Commander Raymond to ensure veterans participation at the informational forum and expressed their satisfaction of the turn out.
