The team, which is known as the Slugger Warriors from Louisville will host a free slow pitch softball tournament in Utica on 10th September. The games will be played on the new field in town, which is called “Jimmy John’s Field”. It’s interesting that the team members are veteran soldiers from the missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. There are also active servicemen in the squad. Most of the team members are really fitted, so for sure, the matches will be competitive.
The American House Senior Living Communities will be the sponsor of the tournament. Everyone who wants to watch the matches won’t pay anything, as the tickets are for free. It will be a spectacular softball match, so you should take advantage and be at the stadium. The purpose of the event is to honour the memory of the victims of the 9/11 attacks. So, the event is scheduled for 10th September 2016 at 1 pm.
The Detroit Connection softball team will also take part in the friendly tournament. The other team to appear on the pitch is the American House softball team, which is expected to stay on the field for 3 innings.
The match will become even more interesting, as a veteran from the World War II is going to throw out the first pitch of the ceremony. Of course, the match is going to start with a minute of silence, in a memory of the victims.
“It’s a really big honour, on behalf of the American House team, to be able to invite these valorous, wounded heroes to Detroit for their ceremonial softball game against the Detroit Connection softball team,” Bob Gillette, who is the American House founder, said.
In conclusion, we have to say that these people are giving the world very good example how to show respect to the people, who had sacrificed their lives for their country and how to pay homage to the innocent victims.
