On 9 September 2023, 40 cadets of Bob Jones High School Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) gathered together at Toyota Field in Huntsville for a special duty presenting the United States flag at the USA Patriots vs AUSA Softball game. This momentous occasion was part of the 4th annual Military Tribute Night, hosted by the Rocket City Trash Pandas. 

After a brief 30-minute wait, the cadets received thorough instructions on the proper protocol for unveiling the flag. With precision and pride, they were then escorted onto the center field, joining in a moving presentation during the National Anthem. This moment was complemented by the BJHS Honor Guard’s impeccable display of colors, as well as the revered unfurling of the US flag.

Once this duty was fulfilled, the cadets departed the center field, allowing the eagerly anticipated game to commence. Many of them chose to stay for the entirety of the match, enjoying the excitement of the game and the camaraderie shared among fellow cadets
