Raytheon gives 150 Patriots Long Ave. resident ‘unnerved’ by recent crimes tickets in honor of veterans Veterans Day: From Page 1
more, but I think that we’re back on the downswing,” he said. “You know, it’s one day a year you have to do what you can.” Thomas Costello, a Brookline resident and U.S. Navy veteran in the crowd, said Veteran’s Day is important to him and his friends from the Navy. Costello said it was his first time at the Boston parade. “I’m from New York City, so I usually go to the one on 5th Avenue,” Costello said. “It’s a little bigger than this.” After the American Legion parade turned the corner and began to make its way downtown, an antiwar group called Veterans for Peace began their own separate march. Veterans for Peace has consistently fought to be included in Veterans Day parades across the country, bringing lawsuit in Auburn, Wash., to march in the city of Auburn’s parade. Across the city, other remembrances honored members of a group that is often overlooked. Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick, Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray and Department of Veterans’ Services Secretary Coleman Nee remembered veterans on Sunday at a ceremony. Raytheon Company, based in
Waltham, announced a donation of $50,000 to the Student Veterans of America to “help empower student veterans to attain their higher education goals,” according to a Raytheon Company press release from Sunday. Raytheon also donated 150 New England Patriot tickets to veterans for Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. A Boston Police sergeant and marine veteran who asked to remain anonymous said he was disappointed in the turnout of the parade and how little it was publicized. “As you see from the crowd, it doesn’t mean much to the people at all anymore,” he said. “If you spent four years [serving] like I did, maybe you’d remember.” The sergeant said it was difficult to organize the Veterans Day parade in the middle of downtown Boston. “People are upset that we’re having a parade and blocking the traffic,” he said. The sergeant said Boston considered canceling the parade due to lack of interest five years ago and that Michael Graham, a radio DJ on 96.9 FM, saved the parade by raising money. “We wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for that,” he said.

arson instead of random burning,” Jackson said. Jackson also speculated on the nature of the fire. “It had the smell of electronics burning and stuff, so I’m sure there was a bit of electric fire going on,” he said. “It was taking a long time to put out.” Mark Monfasani, a sales man-
ager who lives at 15 Long Ave., said recent crimes in the area have unnerved him. “I’ve lived in Allston for about 10 years, and we’ve had a few things going on this year that have been shaking me a little bit,” Monfasani said. “I’ve never really thought of it as a place where something like that can happen.” Monfasani also said he was un-
able to develop a theory regarding the identities of the arsonists. “It really is creepy that someone would do that to — presumably — random strangers,” Monfasani said. “We don’t know who it is, but we assume that it is no one that we know.” Tyler Lay contributed to the reporting of this article.

worked at orientation during the summer of 2010. She described Trotman as a paradigm in the BU community. “Kyle was one of the best BU had to offer and one of the best our world had to offer,” said Sarah Doyle, a 2011 CAS graduate, during the ceremony. Doyle said Trotman came to see the people he met at BU as “brothers and sisters” of his. “Kyle’s heart was too big,” she said. “It was too much to offer for small doses of friendship.” Even in memory, she said, Trotman serves as an example for oth-

ers on how to live life. “Kyle lived such a good life,” she said. “He left so much for us and affected us in so many ways … Try to live like Kyle did. I think that will make him proud.” The Inner Strength Gospel Choir sang at the memorial, and at the end of the ceremony the BU Band led a procession to a reception at the HTC. The memorial service was scheduled to allow students a chance to pay their respects, said HTC Director Katherine Kennedy. “He died two days after Christmas,” she said. “A lot of students weren’t aware, and while more than 100 students came to his fu-
neral, so many more couldn’t.” R. Joshua Reynolds, a Metropolitan College student and College of Fine Arts alumnus, told The Daily Free Press in an interview that Kyle embodied the word “awesome” throughout his life. Gill said in an interview that Trotman’s legacy of loving other people will live on. “People more so mattered to Kyle than anything,” he said. “That’s one of the reasons why he spent his time in the HTC … His people skills were exemplary. The HTC provided an opportunity to meet other people and he loved that.”
