We also would like to give a salute to all of the men and women of the Coast Guard that serve and protect our great nation,” states Rodney Butler, Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Council Chairman. “In addition, we are honored to sponsor our 23rd straight year a southeastern Connecticut tradition that brings so many neighboring communities, families, and friends together in celebration of our Country.”
