I need to speak to Paul Lloyd, I h ave left so many messages, I am hoping that members of the Veteran organizations, active duty and veterans will participate in this year’s Christmas Parade. Brigadier General Shawn O’Brien is the Grand Marshall with Staff Sgt Ryan LaPointe just home from tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. The first division is always dedicated to our Armed Forces and Veterans. Ray Boisoneau is offering rides to anyone who would like to be in the parade. I have also offered to help organize the Memorial Day Parade, and again no response.
