SIDNEY – Overcast skies provided an appropriate backdrop for a crowd of more than 200 guests and even more area State Troopers and dignitaries that gathered for a Memorial Service that recognized both past an present Troopers fallen in the line of duty at the New York State Police Troop C barracks in Sidney, Thursday.

At the top of the solemn day of remembrance, a procession led by the Edward P. Maloney Memorial Pipe Band, Honor Guard and two Troop C Motorcycle patrols set the stage for Troop C Major Donald M. Faughnant to officiate the ceremony.

Of recent passing, Trooper Glenn Woods and Trooper Christopher Skinner were both added to the wall of those fallen in the line of duty. David and Joyce Woods were in attendance.
