Remembering the 13 victims of Columbine on the 25th anniversary
Newsy
The Columbine Memorial has been a place for visitors from across the country to remember the events of that day and it is in need of upgrades.
Saturday, April 20, 2024 marks 25 years since the horrific tragedy unfolded at Columbine High School that left 12 students and one teacher dead.
A vigil was held Friday to mark the milestone, though it was smaller than gatherings of years past.
The Columbine Memorial, located in Clements Park in Colorado, has been a place for visitors from across the country to remember the events of that day and reflect since its dedication on September 21, 2007.
Rick Townsend, the father of victim Lauren Townsend, serves as President of the Columbine Memorial Foundation and described the features of the memorial.
“The Ring of Remembrance has a plaque for each of the victims that died,” said Townsend.
