SAUGUS, Mass. — Dozens of people lined the streets in Saugus for the Memorial Day parade Saturday.
Lots of people were excited about the celebration since this was the first parade since 2019 because of the pandemic.
One man, who’s a Vietnam veteran, says it’s important to come out to events like this to honor those who served this country and never made it home.
It’s a good reminder of what this holiday weekend is all about.
“I went over to Vietnam and came back, I’m thankful for that,” said William Mills, a veteran. “There’s so many that didn’t, too many and a lot I knew, several, so it’s just very special day for me.”
Boston 25′s own Catherine Parrotta was also part of the parade.
She sang during the Memorial Day ceremony following the parade.
