Maryland 4





Also in Montgomery County, Md is Cristman Park. Located off Rte. 355 in Gaithersburg, the park is in a small community setting. There is a large rock with a plaque telling the story of how Lt. Cristman lost his life in 1965, trying to save his men.

In addition, there is a large, tall, monolithic, rough cut stone, with a plaque inscribed with the names of the eight from Gaithersburg who made the ultimate sacrifice.

  1. I never knew this was there, either. It is quite a story, and deserved to be told and remembered.

  2. Why the contrast between Maryland and the other states (in terms of scope and size)?
