Local organizations and residents gathered Monday afternoon at Lake Horicon Park in Lakehurst to commemorate Memorial Day.

Wreaths were placed by representatives from the borough's government, police department, first aid squad, fire department, boy scouts and VFW Post 10061 at the ceremony hosted by the Branch 124 of the Fleet Reserve Association. Representatives from Whiting's first aid squad and fire department were also present.
