Joey Cat: Celebrating Italian Culture

I am raising money to honor Italian American Veterans, by engraving the Columbus Statue in New Britain, Connecticut to honor those veterans and their heroic deeds. The following is the text we plan to engrave, in English and Italian.

"Erected in 1941, this statue stands as an enduring witness to the courage, dedication, and faith of our New Britain's Italian-American war veterans who, in the spirit of Columbus, ventured into a new world for the glory of God and country."

Eretta nel 1941, questa statua rimane il simbolo e la testimonianza del coraggio, dell'abnegazione e della fede, dei nostri veterani Italo americani, che nello lo spirito di Cristoforo Colombo, si avventurarono verso un nuovo mondo per la Gloria di Dio e della nazione. 


We hope to raise around $6500 to pay for the engraving.

Thank you and God Bless,
