As Marylanders and Americans, we stand united to remember those who have fallen in our nation’s defense. In Iraq and Afghanistan more than 3,400 American soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have made the ultimate sacrifice; at least 83 had ties to Maryland, 12 already this year.
On Memorial Day we remember the courage and the sacrifice of those who served and died and we renew our commitment to meet the challenges of America’s future. And we remember that our unity as a people will be our greatest strength.
