It was truly an honor to participate in the Memorial Day Observance on May 26, 2008.  The ceremony honoring our fallen Maryland soldiers was emotional and touching.  I stood with Lt. Governor Brown and Major General Tuxill and handed the families of the fallen soldiers plaques and shared heartfelt condolences and appreciation for their sacrifice. 

There were ten soldiers that were honored this year:

CPL Jonathan V. Hamm                                      SGT Princess C. Samuels

SGT. Casey W. Nash                                           SPC Ari D. Brown-Weeks

SFC Robert E. Dunham                                       SFC Robin L. Towns, Sr. 

CPL Brandon M. Craig                                        SPC Micheal B. Matlock, Jr.

SGT Scott L. Kirkpatrick                                     SFC Collin J. Bowen

Let us never forget that freedom is not free.  Thank you to all who were there to show your gratitude, pride and support for those who sacrifice for our United State of America.
