Briand will also make sure that everybody that helps gets treated to pizza and soft drinks, according to Castinetti. But tomorrow the town and the veterans community will show their appreciation to Briand, who will be honored in this year’s annual Memorial Day parade. He has reluctantly accepted the honor of being the parade’s Grand Marshal – a tribute bestowed on a Saugus veteran who has worked hard behindthe-scenes for many years assisting veterans’ events, according to Castinetti. “He’s involved with anything and everything having to do with local veterans,” Castinetti said. “Randy is just one of those guys who does everything and anything asked of him. He doesn’t say ‘no,’” he said. Events on May 25 This year’s parade will feature several fl oats for the fi rst time Visit Our Newly Expanded Facility. We will beat competitors pricing!
