USO-Metro and Baltimore Orioles
Remember 9/11 by Recognizing Those Who Serve

The USO of Metropolitan Washington (USO-Metro) was honored to participate in special opening ceremonies at Camden Yards before the September 11th game between the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees. Marking the five-year anniversary of the September 11th attacks on our nation, USO-Metro joined with Ft. Meade Installation Commander COL Kenneth McCreedy and Miss Maryland 2006 Brittany Lietz to acknowledge the sacrifices of those who lost loved ones on 9/11 and those who selflessly serve our country.
Miss Maryland presented 9/11 medallions to members of our military, wounded service members, and the widow of a 9/11 victim. “It makes for a great evening to share baseball and comradeship with each other," remarked COL McCreedy during opening ceremonies. "Many of them have been through hard times, a lot of hours, some are wounded and trying to come back from that-- so it’s a good tonic for them to experience the generosity of the USO on a night like this.”
