For years, the Reedsport area has come together over Memorial Weekend to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the country.

The Memorial Weekend parade and events serve as a living tribute, connecting past and present as residents line the streets, share stories, and pause in remembrance of those who gave everything for the freedom of others.

Tax-deductible donations can be made payable to the Reedsport Memorial Parade/Reedsport Rotary Foundation. They can be mailed or dropped off at Columbia Bank, 1975 Winchester Avenue, in Reedsport at 97467. Donations through Square can be made at: https://www.reedsportmemorialparade.com/donate
