Veterans and current members of the United States military will be honored during special events surrounding a Mulerider baseball game on Saturday, April 14.
A reception will be held at the Mulerider Activities Center from 12:30-2 p.m. for veterans and current service members. The Muleriders will face off against Henderson State University at 3 p.m. at Goodheart Field, and free admission will be granted to anyone with a valid military identification card.
As a tribute to the armed forces, the Mulerider baseball team will be wearing camouflage jerseys. Each jersey was funded through the generosity of Southern Arkansas University alumni who are military veterans.
“SAU has numerous students who are current service members and many who are veterans,” said Wilma Williams, director of the University’s Veterans Resource Center. “We hope that this event honors them as well as those in our community who have served our nation.”
