The "Attention Universe" stained glass window was dedicated by Jonathan Brooks, who, on each anniversary of the Battle of Groton Heights, retold the story of the battle to the citizens of Groton...every year until his death. Only 14 years old when the battle transpired, Brooks witnessed the massacre of the soldiers in this battle. One year the weather was near hurricane status, and no one came for his retelling, so he shouted "Attention Universe!" and told the story to the wind.

The New London chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution is named for
Jonathan Brooks.
