Connecticut General Statutes Title 27. Armed Forces and Veterans § 27-121. Municipal memorials for deceased and missing veterans

If the chief executive authority of any municipality which had as residents several veterans who were killed or lost as described in section 27-120, and to whose memory markers or headstones have not already been erected, prefers a memorial stone or plaque with the names of all such veterans inscribed thereon, erected in a public place or cemetery in such municipality, the commissioner shall cause such a suitable memorial to be erected in such municipality, which memorial shall be of such design and material and of such cost as the commissioner determines.  If any municipality, organization or person contributes toward the erection of such memorial, the location of the same shall be determined by the commissioner and a committee of two persons appointed by the municipality, organization or individuals making such contribution.  Any such memorial may include the names of any veterans who died or were killed in action as described in said section 27-120 and whose bodies have been brought home for interment whenever the municipality wherein such memorial is to be erected, or any organization or person, agrees with the commissioner to share proportionately the cost of erecting such memorial.
