The Fort Lee V.F.W. hosted a Memorial Day service Monday, honoring the men and women who have given their lives for their country, those who continue to serve in the military, and also paid special tribute to the Fort Lee Fire Department for saving  the V.F.W. from sure ruin during a fire in 2007.

V.F.W. Commander James Viola unveiled a plaque dedicated to the fire department, which will forever adorn the V.F.W.'s “Wall of Fame” alongside the names and pictures of deceased members already on the wall.

Photographer Donna Brennan captured these images Monday of Memorial Day festivities in Fort Lee.
