Honoring Maryland’s Fallen Heroes

Memorial Day honors Maryland’s fallen heroes from WWII to the present, with a moving ceremony at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens spotlighting Petty Officer Dakota Collison—a devoted volunteer firefighter and Navy sailor who died in a motorcycle accident. His family received a “Loved and Lost” plaque as the community rallied around them, while officials reminded us that for families, every day is Memorial Day. The event also celebrated Maryland’s enduring legacy of sacrifice and spotlighted nonprofits like Guitars for Vets, helping veterans heal through music.
