Macy’s 4th of July

Mr. and Mrs. Lee Hager are shown here with FDNY Fire Family Transport Foundation President Pat Concannon, in front of Bryant Park Hotel with FFT #14, which was donated to the Foundation by Lee Hager on behalf of Southern Wine and Spirits, in the name of their founder Harvey Chaplin.

Lee, his wife, their oldest son Daniel, and Ryan all were treated to a VIP celebration of our Nation’s Independence. They were the guests of the FDNY Fire Family Transport Foundation at this year’s Macy’s Fourth of July Celebration on the waterfront in Brooklyn. The venue was magnificent, including a front row seat on the water to view the Macy’s fireworks display.
