CAROL STREAM, Ill. \u2013 Col. Christopher Tung, assigned to the 85th U.S. Army Reserve Support Command\u2019s G3\/Operations, was honored at the American Legion, Post 76, Great Lakes Regional Baseball Tournament, August 6, 2025, throwing in a ceremonial first pitch, along with Jim Zay, District 6, County Board for DuPage County, and Mayor Frank Saverino, Mayor, Carol Stream.<\/p>\n

During the on-field recognitions, the 85th USARSC\u2019s color guard team presented the nation\u2019s colors during the playing of the national anthem in front of spectators and baseball teams represented from Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s truly an honor to represent the Army during its 250th anniversary,\u201d said Tung, who has served for 25 years. \u201cIt\u2019s been nothing but an excellent adventure for my family and I.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saverino, who has several family members in the military, shared that he has two uncles that served in World War II. One uncle served as a tank commander, and another uncle who was a paratrooper, and was captured during his first jump. He additionally has two other family members serving in the U.S. Navy and two in the U.S. Air Force.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe American Legion and the (Veterans of Foreign Wars) are very special to me. I never served, but I appreciate what everyone did to keep us safe and keep us free,\u201d said Saverino. \u201cI love having the military out here. These kids (baseball players), that\u2019s the future, and they get to see this and get involved this way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the opening ceremonies for the baseball tournament, the Soldiers there received the opportunity to interact with the crowd and share stories of service.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honor and a privilege to be out here today, especially this year, during the anniversary of the U.S. Army\u2019s 250th birthday,\u201d said Sgt. 1st Class Moises Garcia, who has 5 deployments across Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan and Africa throughout his 30 years of service. \u201cI take pride in not only representing our unit but also the U.S. Army and giving back to our great nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
