Saugus by the numbers

  Based on a count of the stars on local monuments, here are the numbers of Saugus servicemen who were killed while serving their country:

• World War I – 14
• World War II – 57
• Korean War – 2
• Vietnam War – 3
• Iraq War – 1

  Saugus in the Civil War: Killed in action aren’t noted. But on the large Civil War Monument inside the large rotary – a keystone-shaped roundabout – two plaques on the right and left sides of the memorial individually list the 163 enlisted men from Saugus; eight of them served in the Navy.
