Fallen and Missing Service Members Remembered and Will Not Be Forgotten

This past Memorial Day, fallen and missing service members who gave their lives in service to our country were remembered. As we honored those who gave the last full measure, we celebrated our County veterans and families and all they have done and continue to do.

All veterans, their families and the public are invited to the next open meeting on Tuesday, June 21, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the first floor conference room at the Department of Health & Human Services, 401 Hungerford Drive, Rockville.
