THE IMPORTANCE OF MILITARY APPRECIATION NIGHT

Military appreciation night is a common occurrence in professional sports.  However, tonight, the OHSAA has invited schools in the state of Ohio to take part in the honoring as well.

The concept of military appreciation night is for the military to be recognized for their service to our country and their sacrifices. A great example of how this works is with the Los Angeles Dodgers and their annual military appreciation event. The purpose of the event is to thank the men and women who serve our country while providing them with an opportunity to take in a baseball game with their families at little to no cost. The Dodgers organization hosts this event every year, donating tickets, food, and drinks, as well as special recognition during game introductions.

The purpose of this event is to show support for those who protect us on a daily basis. It also helps us remember what they do so we can appreciate them more than we already do!

It’s important that we continue these efforts throughout the year because there are many ways we can show gratitude and appreciation for those who serve our country. One way is through military appreciation night at your local ballpark!

Event coordinators oftentimes even have a special section reserved for military families that get to sit in luxury boxes or seats close to home plate where they can enjoy some great food with family and friends before watching their favorite team play ball!

We hope that if your area has a “Military Appreciation Night” you take the time to thank those who served, currently serve, and will be serving whenever. and however, you can.
