Dodgers Honor Fallen Military Heroes on the Eve of Memorial Day
The stadium might be empty, but the Dodgers won’t let an opportunity to honor military heroes pass them by. The team is well-known for treating veterans and military families very well, and the night before Memorial Day is certainly no exception.
