What: Military Appreciation Day at Shea

Join the New York Mets as we host Military Appreciation Day presented by Jeep on Sunday, July 15 at Shea Stadium. On Military Appreciation Day, the first 25,000 fans in attendance will receive a Mets cap, courtesy of Jeep.

We encourage all of our fans to bring items which will be collected into a large "care package" that will be sent to our troops serving overseas. We need your participation to make this an amazin' day!

Here is a list of acceptable items for donation:

Phone Cards
Pens - Black or Blue
Baby Wipes
Hand Sanitizers
Toothbrushes
Disposable Cameras
Batteries of all sizes
Chapstick w/sunscreen

I have so many fun memories of the day-glo colored toilet bowl that is Shea Stadium. Playoff wins, World Series losses, scuffles with Mr. Met, questionable eating choices...you name it. I've been on TV, the jumbo-tron... I've even infiltrated the press box and the private club.

I'm still on the fence about where this move leaves my team allegiances... if you have compelling Angels vs. Dodger arguments, let me know. [wink]
