The Moore-Miller Administration Honors Fallen Heroes and their Families on Memorial Day

Per the State or Maryland: On this Memorial Day, the Moore-Miller administration honored those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The Governor, Lt. Governor Aruna Miller and First Lady Dawn Moore attended events across Maryland with veterans, Gold-Star and military families.

“By remembering those who gave their last full measure of devotion for the cause of freedom, we don’t just celebrate their greatness, we access our own gratitude,” said Gov. Moore. “On this day, we honor them, and recognize the families who know the meaning of this day — for they are the ones who give this day meaning.”
Governor Moore delivered remarks at the Memorial Day Service of Remembrance at King Memorial Park Cemetery in Baltimore County. He was joined by community members, local veterans, and the Baltimore Metropolitan Area Chapter of the 9th & 10th Cavalry of the Buffalo Soldiers. King Memorial Park is celebrating 50 years of serving the African American community in Baltimore County.

In the afternoon, the governor attended the Baltimore Orioles game with Maryland Gold Star families.
