Dear Rippowam families,
On behalf of the Rippowam staff, I want to express gratitude for Rippowam families that have family members that have served or currently serve our country. We thank you for your time, sacrifice, dedication and bravery to protect our freedom. Our band is marching in the Veterans Day parade in Downtown Stamford this weekend. If you are around, come cheer them on as they honor our vets and show off their musical skills.
