Darien’s Own in the Military
Giving Back | By Darien MagazineCT Staff
Darien’s Emma Powless, West Point Class of ’20, recently retired Captain, U.S. Army, 57th Sapper Airborne Company. Served six years and was one of just six women ever to earn both the Army Ranger Tab and the Army Sapper Tab
IT IS WITH GREAT PRIDE that we present this year’s list of Darien High School graduates and Darien students who graduated from area private schools who are currently serving in the military, attending service academies, or enrolled in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) or Officer Candidate School. For the choice they’ve each made to serve our country, for their selflessness and for their commitment to uphold the values on which our country was founded, we applaud them, we honor them, we thank them, particularly as we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
If you have any changes or additions to this list which we will publish each year in conjunction with Darien’s Declaration Day ceremony, where each name will be read, please email pam@darienmagazinect.com. We are also collecting names of Darien’s veterans (of all ages) so please forward those as well. Thank you for your help!
