35th ANNUAL FALLEN HEROES DAY CEREMONY RESCHEDULED FOR MAY 7, 2021
As we announced last month, the 35th annual Fallen Heroes Day ceremony which traditionally takes place on the first Friday in May, cannot take place due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak. Given the uncertainty of the evolving nature of the virus, a decision has been made to honor our current fallen heroes alongside those we will honor at next year’s ceremony, May 7, 2021. The 35th annual commemorative pin will be distributed, along with the 36th annual commemorative pin, at next year’s ceremony.
Although we cannot gather at the Fallen Heroes Memorial on May 1st, we encourage all Marylanders to take a moment to remember the dedicated first responders lost within the last year, as well as all police, firefighters, and emergency medical/rescue personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Additionally, we thank all those on the front lines who are working to keep our community safe as they steadfastly respond to the coronavirus.
