In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The memorial service is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, September 9, 2025 at 6 pm, within the Washington County Emergency Services Tribute Gardens, located at Hagerstown City Park. This event aims to serve as a profound acknowledgment of the bravery, dedication, and resilience demonstrated by individuals who work to ensure the community’s well-being and security.
Attendees are advised to bring their own chairs for the ceremony. While limited handicap parking will be accessible, those requiring it should plan accordingly. The event is made possible through the support and sponsorship of the Washington County Emergency Management, the Washington County Board of County Commissioners, and the City of Hagerstown.
