From Robert Laurence Binyon's "For the Fallen" - the "Ode to Remembrance"...

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today

Game notes, awards further down -

If you are a veteran of the United States Military it is to your advantage to join one (or more) of the the various Veteran's organizations. These organizations provide a collective political voice - which is heard less and less and fewer people serve in the military - and demands for budget dollars often go the the "squeaky wheel ";

Reminder - The American Legion "sponsors" a baseball program because they believe it has value (not profits) - other sponsored programs (most more important than baseball) are -
