Calling All Patriots: Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele Will Attend July 4th Event At Greenwich Town HallGreenwich will recognize its roots — at the seventh annual Fourth of July celebration at Town Hall this Sunday at 9 a.m.
Bea Crumbine and co-organizer Jennifer Larkin want to make sure everyone remembers and reflects on the fact that Greenwich was on the front lines of the Revolutionary War.
The Sound Beach Community Band will play patriotic tunes. Thirteen Boy Scouts will march in carrying the flags of the 13 original colonies. The Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich’s Honor Guard will raise a replica of the Betsy Ross flag donated by Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Pray. Children of the American Revolution will lead the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance. Noel Valentine will recite the poem “The Flag.
Girl and Boy Scouts will read selections from the Declaration of Independence.
The names of the 16 citizen soldiers from Greenwich killed in the Revolutionary War will be read aloud and honored, names familiar to local residents — Mead, Palmer, Reynolds, Lockwood, Knapp. And 23 of their surviving descendants will be on hand.
The Greenwich Police Honor Guard will fire its cannon and Ms. Crumbine said there might even be a 21-gun salute.
Honored dignitaries in attendance will include Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele, U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, State Reps. Lile Gibbons and Fred Camillo, and Bruce Winningham, co-founder of the Greenwich Military Covenant of Care, as well as all three Greenwich First Selectmen.
Later, the audience will be invited inside Town Hall for refreshments, including apple cider and a piece of one of four “Happy Birthday America” cakes.
Greenwich voters can mingle and talk and get to meet Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele, who is running against Greenwich resident Tom Foley in the Republican primary this August.
The Town of Greenwich will be hosting fireworks displays Saturday, July 3, at 9 p.m. at Binney Park and Greenwich Point Park. The rain date will be Monday, July 5, same time and locations.
We are told that Greenwich Resident Tom Foley can not attend this hometown event, because he will be out on the road traveling to another destination.
Perhaps, the Connecticut State Police should issue a Tom Foley Road Rage Alert, so that motorists can be made aware that Mr. Foley's car is once again out and about.

Governor Wanna Be Refuses To Come Clean About His Domestic Violence Issues?
Tom "I Don't Have An Anger Management Problem" Foley Wants Voters To Believe That His Ex-Wife Lisa Foley Is A Habitual Liar.
Connecticut GOP gubernatorial candidate and Greenwich resident. Tom Foley:
First came reports of traffic arrests in the 80's and 90's.
Tom "I Don't Have An Anger Management Problem" Foley still isn't being straightforward and transparent with the voters about his two arrests that involved road rage incidents.
It appears that the very temperamental and privileged Foley thinks that he can respond to questions about his past through press releases.
Still Tom Foley refuses to personally provide the police and court records that might provide balance and context about his arrests in 1981 and 1993.
n one case, Foley's ex-wife alleges that Foley tried to force her car off the road.
Then there was the revelation of a report filed in 2002 by his ex-wife alleging abuse.
