Military Salute Special Engagement

 

One of the 3WallBall World Championship Traditions that literally has fans stopping in their tracks each year is the very special Military Racquetball Federation color guard presentation.

Each Saturday, over the past eight years, 3WB, it’s sponsors & volunteers, World Outdoor Racquetball, World Players of Handball, National Paddleball Association, Military Racquetball Federation and players from all forms of racquetball, handball and paddleball stop to honor all veterans, police, fire, and first responders–some are even playing and competing in the event!  MRF has a special veterans wheelchair racquetball division that also pays tribute to the event’s champions.

This past September 23rd, just as the color guard got settled on the show court, Ramon Flores got down on one knee to ask Anita Johnson one very important question.
