MILFORD — Barry Norton and his daughter Sarah, both veterans, have organized a rally to support U.S. troops on Saturday, May 17, on the Oval.

The rally begins at 1 p.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance and will feature guest speakers, including Gold Star and Blue Star mothers from across the state. Families are invited to bring pictures of their loved one serving in the Middle East.

Following the rally, the local VFW chapter will hold a pig roast at its home on One VFW Way, formerly Perkins Street. The VFW post is located across the street from Milford Lumber and the Boys and Girls Club.

Proceeds from the roast will be used to purchase phone cards and put together care packages for the troops, and rally participants are also being asked to donate items during the event."
