Come out to the ballpark for an evening of patriotic fun including live music, a flag jump, and fireworks! Join Us in CELEBRATING a special group of people, the Vietnam POWs. Members of the United States Armed Forces were held as prisoners of war (POWs) in significant numbers during the Vietnam War from 1964 to 1973. The POWs spent years living in unimaginable circustances ; they were tortured, isolated, and psychologically abused. They had a mission to resist, survive and return with honor. And they did. On Friday, June 3 at 6pm at Fluor Field a large group of POWs will be in Greenville for a reunion and celebration of their survival. Let's show up and celebrate with them! Using this evening to celebrate a perfect night of patriotism, bring your family out to Fluor Field for a complimentary community event. Saluting America together, a chance for us to come out and say thank you! The evening will include special entertainment as a flag jump takes off in a helicopter and then lands back in the stadium.
