Operation Soldier Event Coming Up This WeekendOur buddy John passed this information onto us for any of you in the Fresno area:
Don’t forget that Operation Soldier will be on hand, with the Fresno Falcons, the ECHL affiliate of the NHL San Jose Sharks, at the Save Mart Center,
Friday, November 11th and Saturday, November 12th, 2005.
Friday’s Game is against the Utah Grizzlies and Saturday’s game is against those heated rivals, the San Diego Gulls. Both games start at 7:00pm.
Pre game events for Friday’s game include a military band, which will play the National Anthem, introduction of military personnel from WWII to the present, and the ceremonial first puck drop which will be done by Fresno’s own, Fresno Police Officer, and United States Army SSGT, Michael Toews, who was wounded in Iraq, during combat on October 1st.
The Falcons will be wearing desert camouflage jerseys both nights, to honor America’s military personnel. After the game on Saturday, the 12th, the jerseys will be auctioned off to the public with proceeds going to Operation Soldier, to further help their Patriot Down Foundation.
So come out and join the Fresno Falcons and Operation Soldier as we “Salute Our Troops” on Friday, November 11th, and Saturday, November 12th, at 7:00pm, both nights!Operation Soldier is a terrific cause, run by one of Fresno's finest.
