World War II
Honor Roll
(Originally Posted Memorial Day 2010)

New Haven Journal-Courier, August 15, 1945 - CLICK to enlarge
On this 65th anniversary of the end of World War II, it is especially fitting to remember those Hamden firefighters who served in the U.S. military during World War II.  For well over a generation, they represented the majority of the personnel who served on the Hamden Fire Department.  "Bless 'em all!"

Hamden's World War II Honor Roll, which stood on the site of the future Miller Memorial Library until 1951.
