CCSU Central Authors Series - June 2026 - Ron Farina

This was a community event hosted by West Hartford Community Interactive on June 1, 2026, featuring Ron Farina, an author and Vietnam veteran. The session focused on Farina's literary work, particularly his trilogy "Sacrifice," which explores the experiences of military personnel and the impact of combat deaths on families. Farina shared detailed narratives about casualty assistance officers (CACOs) and the emotional challenges involved in notifying families of fallen soldiers. The discussion was primarily literary and historical, with no procurement, contracting, or budget-related topics addressed during the meeting.
