Show their colors in Parkrose
Story By: Tim Curran Photos By: Dave Bozek The Mid-county MEMO
On Saturday, April 13 at Bob St. Aubin Stadium on 135th and East Burnside Street, Parkrose Little League held its opening day ceremonies. This year,
Parkrose Little League joined thousands of Little Leagues worldwide in
honoring heroes of their respective hometowns. Police, firefighters,
members of the armed forces and medical professionals define who
Home-town Heroes are. Hometown Heroes around the world were presented
with certificates of recognition for outstanding service to their
communities. All of us realized after the tragic events of September 11, that every community is blessed with men and women who are willing to risk their lives every day as part of their jobs,ä Stephen D. Keener, president and chief executive officer of Little League baseball said. This is Little Leagueâs way of saying Îthank youâ, and showing them we appreciate their daily sacrifice.ä ãWe were
pleased and proud to recognize our own Hometown Heroes, and the
sacrifices they make,ä said Parkrose
Little League President Bobbi Malatesta. She continued, None of these
people are drafted or forced into these occupations.

Character, Courage
and Loyalty 
In that sense, they are volunteers who willingly
take on the task of protecting us, often with little recognition for
their deeds. Our Hometown Heroes daily exemplify the Little
League motto: character, courage and loyalty. It was fitting and proper
for us to honor them today.
