A salute to softball veterans!

It is Veterans Day! I would like to keep our past article on softball veterans going by including any upper level softball players (past and present) names that we don't already have on the page. This includes Sponsors, Managers, Umpires, and Directors. Email me at DW@softballcenter.com to add a name or picture.

Also at the bottom of this page you can add in the comment section to list any upper level softball players that have a spouse, grandson, son, or parent that is a veteran.

Veteran's Day!

Thank you for your service!

We thank Mike (posthumously) and his family for his dedicated service and sacrifices made for our country.
