Then off to Slugger field for a patriotic ceremony before the Thunder over Louisville fireworks!
Members from the University of Louisville Drumline will be accompanying SPC Troy Yocum with his march into Slugger Field.  The University of Louisville Marching Band has a fond heart for Military families as they honor them at each pre-game performance.  Also, one of their members, Patrick Henry Hughes received a new home through Extreme Makeover: Home Edition so they are familiar with raising awareness of needing and saving homes. Patrick and his father are honored to be at SPC Yocum's side for the event!
