With hundreds of events across Columbus and Central Ohio, it’s easy to forget what Memorial Day Weekend actually represents.
Sure, it’s nice to have some burgers and (more than a few) hot dogs, but Memorial Day is all about remembering the sacrifices of those who have fallen in the line of duty for our country.
These celebrations and events are dedicated to the soldiers who have given their lives and the families left behind.
