Saturday Sept. 6th against the Philadelphia Phillies. 3:55 PM starting time. I was surprised they gave us a Saturday which can be expected to be a sellout, much less a game against the Phillies. Game could be nationally televised. This will support greater participation from upstate members. To book a batch of tickets please call Tom Dissette of the Mets at 718-559-3034. Upper reserved will be $25.
We are proposing an on field color guard and large flag presentation like last year. One of the Mets management, who is a son of a veteran, went to bat for us on the prime date and opportunity. He just asks we work to generate a good sized group. We would also like to put a fund together like last year to bring VA residents to the game as well as distribute tickets to various military bases around the NY City area. Besides being an occasion for a great afternoon at the game, it is a major visibility opportunity for the American Legion, SAL, a chance to remind the public and a press box full of broadcasters about veterans and our active military.
