Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller and the Maryland Department of State Police are setting the stage to pay tribute to their own, those who have laid down their lives in the line of duty, at their annual solemn remembrance gathering. This Wednesday will mark the Maryland State Police Fallen Heroes Ceremony, where the names and memories of 43 state troopers and a deputy chief state fire marshal, including two troopers who lost their lives during their service in World War II, will be held in reverence.
As reported on the Maryland Department of State Police's official website, the ceremony is a convergence of the past, the present, and the deeply personal sorrows and sacrifices made to protect Maryland. Hundreds are anticipated to attend, including those currently in uniform and those who've since retired.
The ceremony will commence at 11 a.m. on the grounds of the Maryland State Police Headquarters at the Fallen Heroes Memorial, placing it squarely in the heart of the state's expressions of gratitude and respect.
