Special Mission
Veterans Night at the Valley Cats
All Military Branches
Troy, NY - 06/13/2024
Mission applies to the following Region(s):
Region 4, Region 5
About the Mission:
As part of the festivities of the Valley Cats Veterans and Military Appreciation night, we have been invited once again, before the game, to process our Flag Bikes around the warning track and stand a flag line during the Presentation Of The Colors, and the playing of the National Anthem. With only a slight chance of rain and warm temperatures forecast, it looks like a great night for taking in a baseball game, and an even better night for honoring our vets and showing appreciation to all military. Those coming by cages will be let down on the field for the flag line as the bikes are coming onto the field.
All veterans will be offered a complimentary ticket, and non veterans/military members will receive the group rate of $11 per ticket (a $5 savings). Please bring the exact change. Reserved parking for our bikes will be in front of the box office. As Martin needs a head count to obtain the tickets, please respond on our PGRNY R4 and 5 Facebook page or email him at
