Watch and listen to the sights and sounds of the annual day of remembrance.
For 27 years the Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens have set aside the first Friday in May to honor men and women of the public safety community who have died while serving in the line of duty. This year's ceremony, held at the Timonium cemetery, held the distinction of honoring the fewest Fallen Heroes—just one—Maryland State Trooper First Class Shaft Hunter. Hunter, 39, died on May 21, 2011, when his police cruiser collided with the back of a parked tractor-trailer on the shoulder of Interstate 95. Friends and colleagues remember Hunter as "high-energy, funny and a true professional."

Friends and colleagues attended a public memorial for Ron Smith, the longtime WBAL radio talk show host who died in December.
WBAL Radio has video and audio from the service. Before he died, Ron Smith told friends not to pity him, mourn him or cry for him while he was alive or after he was gone. There was plenty of mourning, and a little crying, but also laughter and joy at a public memorial service for Smith, the popular former WBAL radio talk show host, in Kraushaar Auditorium on the campus of Goucher College in Towson on Tuesday.
