The BlueClaws are proud to announce the return of their annual Military Appreciation Night, set to take place on July 11th, and they’re calling on fans to nominate deserving military heroes to be honored during this special event. Presented by OceanFirst Bank, Military Appreciation Night will feature a post-game ceremony dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the brave men and women who have served our country.
As part of the festivities, the BlueClaws are inviting fans to submit nominations for military heroes who have made a significant impact. Whether it’s a family member, friend, or colleague, the BlueClaws want to hear about these remarkable individuals and their contributions to our nation.
The nomination process is simple. Fans are asked to provide details about their nominee’s service, along with a brief description of why they believe their hero deserves to be recognized. Whether it’s acts of valor, dedication to their country, or service above and beyond the call of duty, the BlueClaws want to honor those who have made a difference.
Selected heroes will have their names proudly displayed on the back of special jerseys worn by the BlueClaws players during the Military Appreciation Night game. Following the game, each player or coach will have the honor of presenting these jerseys to the respective families on the field, creating a memorable and touching moment for all involved.
