Who’s your person—the one you’d call when life gets heavy, before you ever think to search for help?

Having support in place *before* you need it can make all the difference. Someone who knows you, knows your story, and knows when something feels off.

What makes someone “your person” for you—trust, history, honesty, or simply knowing they’ll pick up?

Know your person before you need your person.
Send this to your person!

Recovery is part of readiness.™

Remembering Danbury’s Own, Lt. Lee R. Hartell 🇺🇸

On August 27, 1951, First Lieutenant Lee R. Hartell of Danbury gave his life during the Korean War.

While his unit was under intense enemy attack near Kobangsan-ni, Lt. Hartell repeatedly directed artillery fire against enemy positions, even after being seriously wounded. He continued fighting and directing his men until he was killed.

For his extraordinary courage and devotion to his men, Lt. Hartell was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.

His legacy lives on in Connecticut. Camp Hartell, the Connecticut National Guard training facility in Windsor Locks, was named in his honor.

Danbury should never forget the men and women from our city who answered the call to serve.

Today, we remember Lt. Lee R. Hartell.

🇺🇸 Never forgotten. Never surrendered. Always remembered.
