It will be a special event that we will be bringing to the veterans. We will pass Veterans Park and proceed into Town Center where we will disperse and go our own separate ways without interfering with the traffi c,” Moley said. “This is just a group of residents and friends who want to show their appreciation to the service men and women. We encourage people to come out to Veterans Park and show the veterans that they have not been forgotten.” Last year, Moley organized a “rolling rally” that immediately followed the Veterans Day observance. This year, his patriotic procession will proceed to the special service at Veterans Park. The collection of antique cars, military and emergency vehicles will assemble at 10:45 a.m. in the parking lot of the Saugus Senior Center at 466 Central St. The Veterans Day observance will begin at 11 a.m., soon after the “Rolling Rally” passes the park. Moley will be driving his Dodge Ram pickup truck with two large American fl ags and armed with speakers playing patriotic music. The Saugus Fire and Police Departments will be joining the procession, along with the “Action” Emergency Management Tower Ladder 1 Truck from Revere, which sports a screaming Eagle on both sides of the truck’s cab. Retired Marine Lt. Col. Grace will be keynote speaker The Annual Veterans Day Celebration and Ceremony will begin AT 11 a.m. sharp near the monuments at Veterans Park. Terri Osoro of Saugus is scheduled to sing the National Anthem. Lt. Col Thomas Grace (U.S. Marine Corps, retired) will be this year’s keynote speaker. Lt. Col Grace has been the senior Marine instructor of the MCJROTC Program at Salem High School since August of 2022. During this year’s ceremony, the Saugus Veterans Council will recognize several veterans whose names have been inscribed on the wall or who have been honored with recently installed bricks on the walkway. The ceremony will bring together veterans, families, town offi cials, students and community members to recognize the courage, dedication and sacrifi ce of those who have served in the United States Armed Forces, according to Saugus VETERANS DAY | SEE PAGE 11
