Through this program, which recognizes servicemen and servicewomen that are no longer with us, fans are asked to describe the reasons, with information about their service, as to why these heroes are most deserving.
"This is one of the best things that fans will see at the ballpark this or any year," said BlueClaws General Manager Bob McLane. "Honoring these fallen military heroes is a privilege we do not take lightly and look forward to a great ceremony and night again this year."
The BlueClaws will select a group of heroes from the nominations. Each hero will have their name on the back of one special jersey worn by the BlueClaws at the Military Appreciation Night game. After that game, each player or coach will present the jersey to the respective families on the field.
“We know there are so many worthy honorees for this program and thank everyone in advance for their nominations.”
The BlueClaws have several additional 2025 military-based initiatives that are now open for fans to donate and participate.
“The BlueClaws and BlueClaws Charities are proud to work with great organizations like Vet Tix, and OceanFirst Bank, sponsor of our Vets Night Out program, as we work throughout the year to support the military and military causes,” said Jim McNamara, Executive Director of BlueClaws Charities.
