The Naugatuck Veterans Day Parade and Ceremony was held in downtown Naugatuck on Tuesday.

The annual parade stepped off at 2 p.m., marching down Church Street to Division Street. The post-parade ceremony took place in the sanctuary of the Naugatuck Congregational Church on Division Street. Keynote speaker was U.S. Army veteran Jules Jodko.

All veterans were welcomed regardless of service era, location of service, or whether they belong to one of our recognized veterans organizations.
