Ohio State Honors Prisoners of War and Missing in Action With New Addition to Ohio Stadium
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer reveals the tribute on his Twitter account.
COLUMBUS, OH — The Ohio State University will dedicate a special chair in Ohio Stadium that honors POW and MIA soldiers. The chair will always remain empty in honor of the sacrifices of those who served but didn't return.
The chair will be located in the first row of section 3AA, an intentionally visible location and where the ROTC sits for football games.
Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer gives us a preview of the POW/MIA chair on his Twitter account:
