Upcoming American Legion Baseball District Tournament

/in , , /by

Friends, Legionnaires and Countrymen:

“Lend me your interest”!

The District 16 American Legion Baseball Tournament begins Monday 18 July and extends until Saturday 23 July 2016. The Ashburn Post 2001 Knights, led by Coach Bob Hough and Assistant Coaches Jeff Newell and Steve Davis, compiled a 14-1 record (13-1 in league play); and, are the number #1 seed in the tournament.

Our Knights’ first tournament game will be on Wednesday, 20 July, 4pm at Tuscarora High School, against the game winner of Warrenton Post 290 and the Stafford Americans Post 72.

This is a double elimination tournament and the winner moves to the Virginia Legion State Baseball Tournament hosted by the Danville Va Legion Post, 26-30 July.

I have attached the District Tournament Bracket for your review. You’ll note there are several game venues and the correct games dates should read:
Monday: 18 July
Wednesday: 20 July
Thursday: 21 July
Friday: 22 July
Saturday 23 July

Ashburn Post 2001 will host games at Stone Bridge High School on Friday 22 July, 4pm and 7pm; and Saturday 23 July, at 12pm. If necessary, a final game will be played at 4:30pm. We are planning to have a color guard and WWII or Korean War Vet throw out the first pitch at the Saturday, 23 July 12pm game. If you know of someone who can and would sing the National Anthem please let me know.

We have a very competitive team this year with a great group of young men. They would greatly appreciate displaying their skills for you. Please try and attend a game(s).

Still serving,

Post 2001 – 4th of July Independence Day Parade Leesburg

/in /by

Legionnaires,

You are invited to participate as part of our American Legion Post 2001 in the Leesburg 4th of July Parade.

The parade is Monday 4 July and every one must be at Ida Lee park by 0930. The parade starts at 10:00 am at Ida Lee Park and goes down King Street into Leesburg.

Uniform is Legion cap (if you have one) and polo shirt (Legion polo if you have one, otherwise red, white, or blue would be great) and slacks (no jeans please).

In the past we have lined up near the front of the parade and we will have the Post colors and the American flag. We anticipate help from some youth groups as well.

I will send further details in the next few days.

This is a fun event and it is amazing to walk down King Street with all the folks cheering and waiving to us.

Hope you can participate!
