🇺🇸 WE MUST NEVER FORGET 🇺🇸

Twenty-five years ago, our nation witnessed one of the darkest days in American history. On September 11, 2001, courageous police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and ordinary citizens answered the call without hesitation—many making the ultimate sacrifice to save others.

Join the McLean County Republicans as we honor their courage and remember the heroes of 9/11 at our 25th Anniversary 9/11 Memorial – Battle of the Badges.

⚾ Battle of the Badges
👮 Police vs. 🚒 Firefighters
📅 Friday, September 11, 2026
🕡 Opening Ceremony – 6:30 PM
📍 Corn Crib Stadium
1000 W. Raab Road, Normal, Illinois

YOU WILL PICK UP YOUR PURCHASED TICKETS AT THE WILL CALL WINDOW OF THE CORN CRIB STARTING 1 HOUR BEFORE THE GAME.

The evening begins with a special memorial ceremony recognizing the bravery, sacrifice, and service of our first responders, followed by a fun and spirited baseball game between local police officers and firefighters.

Bring your family, invite your friends, and join neighbors from across McLean County for an evening of remembrance, patriotism, and community. This is more than a ballgame—it's an opportunity to teach the next generation why we must never forget.

We also invite local businesses and organizations to become event sponsors and help make this meaningful community tribute possible. Your partnership will honor those who served on 9/11 while supporting a memorable event for families throughout McLean County.
