| Details | Each year the Connecticut Veterans Legal Center comes together to celebrate Veterans Day by honoring those impacting the lives of Connecticut veterans. The 14th Annual Saluting Service will take place at the historic New Haven Lawn Club. You will have the opportunity to connect, network, and celebrate with other leaders from the legal, business, philanthropic, and veteran and service member communities. All proceeds benefit the work of Connecticut Veterans Legal Center, which provides free legal aid to low-income veterans who are in recovery from homelessness, mental illness, and substance abuse.
