Patriot Guard and Associates:
Sadly, we are called to stand for Chuck Woodin, U.S. Navy/Corrections.
Chuck served in the US Navy from 1979 to 1983 aboard the USS Truett (FF-1095) as a Welder and was awarded the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon and the Navy Expeditionary Medal
Following his military service, Chuck continued in public service with a 20-year career in the Connecticut Department of Correction. His time there reflected the same commitment to structure, responsibility, and public duty that defined his military years.
Chuck was always deeply rooted in the veteran community. He rose to positions of leadership within the American Legion, serving as Commander of Post 2 and later as Vice Commander of District 1. In those roles, he worked directly with veterans and their families, helping them navigate the challenges of post-service life while strengthening the network of support across Connecticut.
Recognizing the need for a stronger voice for veterans, Chuck brought that mission into public broadcasting. He helped establish Veterans Corner on Nutmeg TV, where he served as both host and producer. The program became a trusted and consistent platform dedicated to veterans, their families, and the organizations that support them. CT PGR was featured on this program last year.
We will stand a Flag Line at the church, provide an escort to the cemetery and a Flag Line at the cemetery.
ASC Gregg Barratt will be RCIC (860-394-0732) and flags will be onsite.
God Bless America, Our Troops and Our First Responders.
