For 155 years Carroll County has understood Memorial Day as a solemn day when we gather together as a community at the historic Westminster Cemetery to express our profound gratitude for the acts of brave patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our way of life.
Recently Carroll County has lost a number of folks who have lived in our community and helped shape the high quality of the life we enjoy in our community today. Three of these great Carroll countians include Westminster Fire Department EMS Captain Ritchie Raver, Taneytown Mayor Bob Flickinger, and Vietnam veteran Billy “Burns” Millberry.
