the chartering of the 2CGFG in March
     1775, of Arnold’s Demanding the Keys,
     and  of  the  2CGFG  marching  through
     Wallingford on its way to Boston, it is
     the appropriate time for run-through
     of the event to be held in our histor-
     ic town. In addition, there has been a
     long history of Wallingford men being
     in the 2nd Company as both enlisted
     men  and  women  and  officers,  and
     even  with  the  Wallingford  National
     Band serving as the unit’s band in the
     late 1800s. The relationship continues
     to  this  day,  both  the  Commandant,
     Major  Donald  Rosadini,  Jr.  and  the
     Headquarters  Officer,  Captain  Steven
     Allinson are Wallingford residents.


     Please join us at 1 PM at the Parsons
     House at the onset of this historic cer-
     emony.
