As we prepare for the upcoming Memorial Day Parade, we need your help in identifying Italian-Americans from the Lower Naugatuck Valley that have perished in a Foreign War.
Students from Derby and Shelton High School Italian programs are researching to help us recognize these war heroes for the upcoming parade.
Can you help? If so, please message us at [email protected] and please do share this post.

The following was sent by Derby-Shelton Rotary:
Shelton’s very own Mrs. Connecticut, Liza Ginoni-Gambino, recently joined the Derby-Shelton Rotary.
“The very first time I met Liza was at our Shelton Day festival. She was introduced to me as Mrs. Connecticut American. She was so warm and authentic. I asked her if she wanted to get into one of the Shriners cars with me and she said yes, without a second thought. I was very excited to learn she was interested in becoming a member. She’s a definite asset to our Derby Shelton Rotary Club. She loves to give back to the community. I knew she would be a perfect fit,” said Kim Ryan Caro, Club President.
