(Fort Mill, SC) -- The Charlotte Knights, the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox are proud to salute American veterans and active Military members during a season-long tribute in 2012.

First pitch of Monday's Memorial Day game is set for 2:15 p.m. and gates will open at 1:00 p.m.
The Charlotte Knights have teamed with the USO of N.C., Uncle Bob's Self Storage, OrthoCarolina and Conder Flags for a season-long Military Appreciation series, which initially began on Opening Day.
