Starting at 5:45 p.m., guests will be greeted with open arms and can embark on an exclusive ballpark tour, delving into the storied history of Minute Maid Park. Following the tour, indulge in a delectable dinner prepared in-house, courtesy of the Astros Foundation, while listening to the inspiring tale of American hero Mr. Danny Mata, a decorated Purple Heart recipient and Vietnam Veteran.

The evening will be filled with excitement as our live DJ spins tunes for dancing, and table games provide endless entertainment. Capture the memories with photos taken by one of our amazing USO Volunteers using our USO backdrop. (we can take them with your phone to make it easy and free)
