June 29th, 2018 | the Day After the Capital Gazette Shooting
Last night I wanted to post something inspiring, meaningful or comforting, but I had nothing. The words swirling in my head weren't appropriate for Facebook, nor was it the time or the place to share my thoughts. So I added one word to this Maryland flag image and posted it, just to let all of you know that I was thinking of you, and logged out of Facebook for the night.

I could find only a brief mention of Warden Rider's name in recent years from an article dated May 2009: "Fallen Heroes Memorial Park rededicated in Queen Anne's County".
Centreville, MD: "The expanded Fallen Heroes Memorial Park was rededicated at a ceremony attended by several dozen people on Thursday. It was first dedicated in June 2003 and has eight stone markers inscribed with the names of men who died in the line of duty including Warden Charles W. Rider, Maryland Department of Fish and Game."
