Saugus Garden Club Marched in the Veterans Day Parade
The Saugus Garden Club had the honor of marching in
the Veterans Day Parade on Wednesday, November 11, 2009.
We dedicated the Blue Star Memorial Marker to honor those
who are serving, or who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Saugus Garden Club Thanks Saugus
To all of you who came to the Veterans Day Celebration, to all who stood on the
sidewalks and watched the parade and waved, to all the kids with their wonderful
signs, to all the Veterans and their families and friends, to the Veterans Council
who arranged everything, to the Saugus High School Band, and to everyone who
contributed in any way to the Blue Star By-Way Monument, The Saugus Garden Club
thanks you all for your support and generosity. The day was perfect. We thank you all.
The Blue Star Memorial Marker Program of the National Garden Clubs, Inc. began in 1945
to honor the men and women serving in the Armed Forces during World War II. The name
was chosen for the star on flags displayed in homes and businesses denoting a family
member serving. Garden clubs pictured a ribbon of living memorial plantings traversing
every state. The designation of Blue Star Highways was achieved through petitions to the
state legislatures and cooperation with the Departments of Transportation. A uniform
marker was designed to identify the Highways.
The Blue Star Memorial Program grew to extend across thousands of miles throughout the
continental U.S., Alaska and Hawaii. All men and women who have served, are serving, or
will serve in the Armed Forces of the United States are included.
The Saugus Garden Club will be responsible for maintaining and landscaping the area
around the site. Contributions to assist in funding the installation and upkeep are welcome.
If you would like to be a part of this honor to the members of your families, please call
Randy-Sue Abber (781) 231- 0877 for more information.
Left to Right: Larry Capuzzo, Donna Manoogian - President of Saugus Garden Club,
Doug Cooper, and Randy-Sue Abber - Treasurer of Saugus Garden Club,
meet to confirm the schedule for the Veterans Day Parade.
