We honor our fallen service members

BALTIMORE —For many of us, Memorial Day weekend marks the start of summer and a sign that the end of the school year is approaching.

Backyard cookouts, road trips and visits to the beach are on the calendar, but the holiday has even more significance.

Created after the Civil War, Memorial Day is a time to honor our armed forces, some of who made the ultimate sacrifice.

For other families, this weekend is a day of remembrance for our service men and women and first responders who put duty before self, some giving their lives in defense of our freedoms.

In honor of their sacrifice, we would like to thank them for their service as we celebrate with family and friends.
