Before each monthly meeting of the Pleasant Valley Volunteer Fire Company, we hold a memorial service for any member or family member that has passed during the past month.

At the September meeting our memorial service started with by honoring the 13 service personnel that died on August 26, 2021 in Kabul.

May they rest in peace.
