PARSIPPANY — On May 6, during the monthly meeting of the Rainbow Lakes Volunteer Fire Company District Two, Marie Appel was recognized as a special guest.
Marie’s late husband, George, was a committed firefighter, officer, and elected Fire Commissioner for Parsippany Fire District Two. At George’s funeral the previous month, the fire company presented Marie with the American Flag reverently draped over his coffin.
This flag, bestowed by the Veterans Administration in honor of his military service, was accompanied by a wooden and glass case provided by the fire company as a gesture of appreciation for George’s invaluable contributions to the firefighting community.
