News WBZ     METHUEN, Massachusetts ( WBZ ) -- Over the weekend in Methuen, dozens took part in placing flags on veterans' graves throughout the city. "Nineteen different teams all go out from here and go to the different sections of the cemetery, and it all gets done simultaneously," Methuen Veterans Service Officer Paul Jensen said. Veteran Roland Pelletier spent the day placing flags at Elmwood Cemetery. "My dad was a World War II vet, and all my uncles were. And I'm a veteran of Vietnam, and to me, it's the proper thing to do to show respect," Pelletier said.
