"A walk of beauty and a moving memorial to our heroic Connecticut military who served and laid down their lives in defense of our country since the 9/11 terrorists attack on our country. Each military service member is revered with a tree and an etched image of their faces on a memorial stone to honor their sacrifice. The sculpture “First Tear” makes it very real. There are also actual tracks from the World Trade Center in memory of 9/11. And at the entrance are special recognitions to honor those who came back changed, war dogs, and Sgt. Stubby, CT’s own war dog who was our most decorated war dog from WWI. Well worth the visit to experience this very special memorial garden and the. Drop into the Greater Middletown Military Museum adjacent to it, as well as the Vietnam era Huey Helicopter all within Veterans Park high honors our WWII veterans."

About This Memorial

The Sergeant Stubby statue in Middletown, Connecticut commemorates the most decorated dog of World War I. Originally a stray adopted by Private J. Robert Conroy during training at Yale, Stubby became the mascot of the 102nd Infantry and served in France, alerting troops to gas attacks and locating wounded soldiers. The bronze statue depicts Stubby in military attire with his decorated blanket, standing in the Connecticut Trees of Honor Memorial. It honors both the dog's wartime contributions and the broader service of military animals during WWI.
