It is our privilege to say “thank you” to those who have served and are now a part of our Blue Ridge family; our gratitude is equally extended to each person who has chosen to serve our country. Thank you,” said Blue Ridge Companies Executive Vice President Susan Passmore. Fans will be able to bid on the game worn jerseys throughout the night.
