Recognizing Our Veterans
November 9th, 2023
In honor of Veteran's Day, we asked the Veterans at C.E. Floyd to share about the things they learned while serving that they apply in their jobs today. Here's what they said:
Tony Giglio: Army Reserves
The biggest thing I learned from being in the military was making sure everything was “dress right dress” as they call it, which is a term they use for having everything neat and organized. I try to carry that practice with me into construction and keep the job site as clean and as organized as possible, which also helps a lot with production. I take a lot of pride in having a clean organized job site. The head of facilities at the Dedham Country Day School commented to me one time that I had the cleanest construction job he had ever been on.
Mark Giglio: Navy Seabees
What I remember most from my military training is “paying attention to detail”. This was impressed upon on us in boot camp in doing simple tasks like making your bed or keeping your locker organized. I try and apply this to the work I do today.

Brian McDougal: Army Infantry
I learned that no mission or project can be completed without a team around you that has the same motivation and drive as each other. I had never heard of the term “shirk” before coming to C.E. Floyd, but “never shirk” is a great phrase that can be used across the board for all careers.
Ray Pagliarini: Army
I learned how to be a team member as well as how to deal with different personalities and have everyone operate as a team. I also learned what it means to be a leader under difficult circumstances and always remain calm. Also, getting up early, showing up early, and treating others with respect. Last but not least, I learned to always use the chain of command.
Thank you to Tony, Mark, Brian, Ray, and all the Veterans out there for your service to our country!
