"Brave-Eagle Warriors" help kick-off a professional baseball game Servicemen lead the singing of the national anthem to boost morale

  • 2024/08/24

The Ministry of National Defense (MND) and the Taiwan Steel Group Hawks (TSG Hawks) baseball team held a professional baseball game at the Chengching Lake Baseball Stadium themed on "Brave-Eagle Warriors" today. Service personnel and their families were invited to the stadium to support baseball and promote the protection of our homeland jointly by the Armed Forces and our nationals.

The event kicked off with an enthusiastic applause from the fans, while representative servicemen of the Air Force were arranged to come onto the field and lead the fans in singing our national anthem. Major General Yang, Captain of the 6th Wing of the Air Force, and Colonel Ma, Deputy Captain, lead the singing. As the music of our national anthem music sounded, all officers, soldiers, players, and fans at the scene stood tall singing the national anthem in unison, showing a great sense of patriotism.

The kick-off ceremony was then held, with Major General Yang and Colonel Ma serving as the pitcher and hitter respectively, representing the servicemen of the Air Force standing steadfastly with the people as they show their determination to protect our air-space, receiving a warm and enthusiastic applause from the audience.

As the MND encourages participation of officers and soldiers in themed-based professional baseball to stimulate morale and a sense of honor among servicemen and nationals, it also recognizes the support of our nationals towards national defense affairs.
