City Hill Middle School seventh-grader James Duda walks in St. James Cemetery in Naugatuck Nov. 1 with an American flag as part of annual program coordinated by local veterans and the school to replace the flags at veterans’ graves in the cemetery before Veterans Day. Nearly 1,700 veterans are buried in the cemetery. About 30 middle school students came out to help replace the flags. Students also help replace the flags before Memorial Day. –ELIO GUGLIOTTI
