53rd Annual Memorial Day Ceremony Canceled
In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic and in accordance with State of Maryland public health guidelines and directives, the 53rd annual Memorial Day ceremony planned for Monday, May 25, 2020 at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens has been canceled.
While the live public ceremony cannot be held, Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens will commemorate Memorial Day with a tribute video, which will be available for viewing on their website www.dulaneyvalley.com/events/memorial-day-ceremony/ and Facebook page (Honoring Fallen Heroes Dulaney Valley).
The video will honor the five service members lost within the last 14 months and pay tribute to all men and women of the Armed Forces who have paid the highest price in defense of the United States of America. The tribute video will be accompanied by a pre-recorded virtual ceremony which will include placement of a memorial wreath and presentation of the colors at the Circle of the Immortals, an area dedicated in 1967 and reserved for Marylanders killed in action. The United States flag will be flown at half-staff from sunrise until noon, per Memorial Day protocol.
