It was less than six years ago that Matthew Seidler accepted
his diploma as a member of Westminster High School's Class of 2006.
He is recalled by classmates as a good friend, serious
worker and talented artist and video production student.
It was less than six months ago that Matthew Seidler was
healthy, happy and pursuing a job that his family said he felt he was called to
do — serving in the U.S. Air Force as a member of an elite explosive ordinance
disposal squadron.
Yet this Monday, May 28, Airman 1st Class Matthew Seidler
will be remembered on the first Memorial Day since his death in January, while serving
his country in Afghanistan.
The Westminster native will be one of seven Marylanders
honored at ceremonies at the annual Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens' Memorial
Day observance, in Timonium, an event that traditionally pays tribute to
Marylanders who have fallen in the line of duty over the past year… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/neighborhoods/westminster/ph-ce-seidler-memorial-0527-20120523,0,4272840.story

Eagle Archive: For Memorial Day, we recall a fallen soldier
who made sure we remembered others
By Kevin Dayhoff, May 26, 2012 http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0527-20120526,0,2171783.story#tugs_story_display
On Monday, May 28, Carroll County will mark its 145th annual
observance of Memorial Day with an expanded parade and ceremonies at
the Westminster Cemetery.
In 1967, our community noted the 100th anniversary of
Westminster's Memorial Day observances. According to local historian Jay
Graybeal, who wrote about the occasion for the Historical Society of Carroll
County in 1997, "Participants came from sixteen states and one newspaper
estimated that the crowd numbered 15,000 people."
Ironically and tragically, it was just one year after that
centennial celebration that Air National Guard Lt. Col. Sherman E. Flanagan
Jr., 38, a Westminster attorney — and a member of the 100th anniversary
committee — was shot down and killed while flying a mission over the
Demilitarized Zone in Vietnam on July 21, 1968. He was flying an F-100
"Super Sabre" jet fighter at the time of his death.
According to an article in The Baltimore Sun's Carroll
County edition, "Flanagan was believed to be the first Guardsman to die in
Vietnam who was called to duty during that period." … http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0527-20120526,0,2171783.story#tugs_story_display

On May 28, Carroll County and Westminster will mark the 145th
observance of Memorial Day with an expanded parade and three-days of
activities — thanks to all the hard work of American Legion Carroll Post No. 31 and leaders
like Skip Amass, coordinator of this year's activities.
The tradition of the parade and ceremony in Westminster
began in 1868, when Mary Bostwick Shellman followed General John A. Logan's May
5, 1868, General Order No. 11 — which called upon people to adorn the graves of
Union soldiers with flowers.
She gathered a group of schoolchildren for that task, and
they walked from the old schoolhouse on Center Street to Westminster Cemetery.
As with all the many stories in Carroll, the hands and
hearts of countless individuals and community organizations have guided and
nurtured the observances over the years. The list is long and celebrated.
However, one of the names historically synonymous with
Memorial Day is particularly worthy of note — Atlee Willis Wampler Jr… READ
