Honoring Those Who Served
On Tuesday, the American Legion baseball teams based in Marquette will host a special ceremony that blends sport with tribute, honoring the region’s veterans.
The Post 44 Blues will take on Menominee, while the Post 44 Reds face Norway, in a doubleheader scheduled for the historic Gerard Haley Memorial Baseball Field in north Marquette.
Veterans attending the games will enjoy complimentary meals, with options ranging from bratwurst and hot dogs to hamburgers, all served in a festive atmosphere.
The D.J. Jacobetti Home for Veterans has arranged free transportation to the venue, ensuring that those who served can travel to the ballpark without financial burden.
Admission to the games is open to the public at no cost, and families are encouraged to join the celebration, which also marks the teams’ recent rebranding that incorporates surrounding communities.
The event underscores the Legion’s longstanding commitment to community service and the shared spirit of gratitude that baseball can foster.
