Mac Slover, Chair of The Miracle League of Alexandria announced they will be hosting a “First Responders” Day game on Saturday, September 9 at 1 pm at the Kelley Cares Miracle Field. Prior to the game, there will be a special 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony in honor of the September 11, 2001 victims and First Responders during that fateful time our country faced.
First Responders from the Alexandria and Prince William County Police, Fire/EMS and Sheriff’s Departments will be on-hand to participate in the ceremony. The Alexandria Police Honor Guard will be present with the colors for the National Anthem. The Miracle League of Prince William County participants will also be a part of the ceremony and game.
Following the ceremony, the Police, Sheriff, Fire/EMS will become the “Angels In The Outfield” Buddies for the day to assist the players in hitting, throwing, catching and circling the bases. At the conclusion of the game, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity (who have volunteered with the MLA now for over 10 years) will be grilling hotdogs and providing chips, water and cupcakes to everyone.
The ceremony and game is open for anyone who would like to attend. Come out and support our hero First Responders and our Miracle League players! 9/11… WE WILL NEVER FORGET!
