SHELTON, CT — The public is invited to the dedication ceremony of a Revolutionary War Patriot marker at Veterans Memorial Park, located at 38 Canal Street E in Shelton, on Oct. 23 at 11 a.m.

According to a news release provided by the Sarah Riggs Humphreys-Mary Silliman Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Shelton park was founded to recognize and honor the men and women who served our country in the military services.
