Fallen Heroes Day

The 39th annual Fallen Heroes Day observance will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, May 3, 2024, at the Fallen Heroes Memorial at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens. The observance honors Maryland police, firefighters, and emergency medical/rescue personnel who have died in the line of duty and is the only statewide ceremony in the nation that brings together all segments of the public safety community. Fallen Heroes Day, which is held each year on the first Friday in May, is also an opportunity for the public to show their appreciation for those who risk their lives every day to protect the citizens of Maryland. Family members of those being honored will be in attendance.
