Monckton Boys Honor Their Dad

Don Monckton was the Master of Ceremonies for Memorial Day here in Newtown. Even though he was in charge, he didn't know the spotlight would turn to him. You see, his three sons, all of whom are vets, got together to honor their dad. Their message to the VFW Past Post Commander? "Thanks for being our hero."

Pictured here are 3 generations of Monckton boys: Rich, grandson Joseph, Don, Tom, and grandson Jack. Don's son, Marine Corp vet Daniel, couldn't be there—he's away at college.

Don's not around town as much as he used to be but he says, "I may live in Florida, but my heart is in Newtown."

God bless you Monckton's, and God bless America.
