Waterloo, IA – The Waterloo Bucks are seeking nominations for their second annual Military Heroes Baseball card set. The card set will represent each branch of the military and honor those who are currently serving our country, veterans who have served in the past but are no longer active, and those who bravely fought for our country, but have since passed away.
The card set will be given away to the first 1,000 fans that enter Riverfront Stadium on Monday, July 4th, 2016. Those military heroes selected to appear in the card set and their families will be honored on the field following the July 4th game, and will receive four tickets to that game.
Nominations for the Military Heroes Card Set will begin immediately on Monday, March 14th. The first 25 submissions will make it into the 2016 card set, so we urge people to turn in their nominations right away. Nominations will be taken until April 15th, OR, until 25 submissions are received.
To give all past and current military the opportunity to be honored in the Military Heroes Card Set, we ask that those veterans included in the 2015 set not be nominated.
