HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! Left to right: Erick Cristoforo, Steve Ruggiero, Nick Dascoli, Andrew DeMatteo, Mitch Haley, Chis Hunt, Chris McGrane and Alex Merlina stand proudly near “The Backwards Flag.” They are all friends and Saugus High School graduates who are particularly proud of their friend, Mitch, a U.S. Marine veteran who served for four years in Afghanistan. They loved their school years, their families, their close friendships and the good old USA. And they wanted to display “The Backwards Flag.” “The Backwards Flag dates back to the Army’s early history when both cavalry and infantry units would charge ahead as the Stars and Stripes streamed backward.
