BY MATT SANDERSON VILLAGER STAFF WRITER DANIELSON — Veterans who fought wars abroad or worked stateside were recognized at the Historical and Genealogical Society last Saturday afternoon, Nov. 1. Approximately 70 visitors, including approxi- mately 40 veterans from World War II to present, filled 196 Main St. to share their memories with one another and what it was like while serving their country. Clifford C. Soucy,vice president of the Historical and Genealogical Society, had veterans sign a book that will be archived at the society. Along with the help of Historical Society members, Soucy helped print out appreciation citations during the ceremo- ny, individualize them and hand them out to every veteran present. “I covered every branch and every veteran as long as they were under honorable conditions,” said Soucy, who is a retired sergeant first class of the Army National Guard. “I thought the program went well. I saw some tears of happiness.” Ernest G. Salvis, of Danielson, spoke to the audi- ence about his time served in the Navy from December 1944 to June 1946 overseas in Hawaii. He showed several photo albums and newspaper clip- pings from his time onboard his Navy vessel. Salvis is a retired petty officer, third class, as well as a car- penter’s mate. He said on any given day on the ocean, most of his time was spent waiting in the “chow line” with other officers and shipmates wait- ing to eat. “I carried that photo album throughout the war in my C bag,” he said. He is currently the color guard and chaplain at the VFW in Putnam. Sherri Vogt, 50th District candidate from Brooklyn, said that telling younger generations about a veteran’s stories and medals earned is a blessing of passing along a soldier’s tradition. Vogt served in the Army from 1986 to 1991. “My family’s pride made me serve,” she said. Sgt. 1st Class William Rahill, of Danielson, was at the ceremony representing the most recent American veterans of foreign war after spending a tour from 2003 to ’04 and another from 2005 to ’06 in Iraq. “It was 25 months,” he said. “It’s either absolute Matt Sanderson photos boredom or absolute terror.” Clockwise starting from top left: Veteran Howard Carter, of Roxbury, Mass., served with the Tuskegee Airmen from 1946 to 1952.

About 40 veterans showed up to the Killingly Historical and Province on his first tour and was stationed in Genealogical Society last Saturday, Nov. 1, for Veterans Recognition Day.

Navy veteran Ernest Salvis, of Danielson, brought in various photos and other memorabilia he archived from his time spent overseas from 1944 to 1946. He last December and currently works at the Marine presented all his keepings, such as old newspaper clips. District 44 candidate Sherri Vogt, of Brooklyn, attended Veterans Recognition Day recruiting station in downtown Danielson. “Thank you to all my brothers and sisters who serve this country,” said Richard Hall, of Brooklyn, just launched the local chapter of the organization donated one of his models to the Historical and Danielson.

THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, in December of 1939. Gone with the Wind is having its world premiere, and Hitler is invading Poland, but Atlanta’s elitist German Jews are much more concerned with who is going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the season. Events take several unexpected turns as the characters face where they come from and are forced to deal with who they really are. A16 • Friday, November 7, 2008 KILLINGLY VILLAGER
