Veterans Day – Sporting Engagements
On Nov. 15, the Los Angeles Lakers hosted service members from Space Systems Command and Space Base Delta 3 at the Crypto.com arena as part of their annual Veterans Day Hoops for Troops. Five-time NBA Champion, Michael Cooper, and the Lakers athletics team, energized troops in attendance with basketball drills, motivational quips, feats of friendly competition, and a dance contest. SSC and SBD 3 friends and family were also in attendance to cheer on their loved ones, snap photos, and dance from the sidelines. After the basketball clinic, participants and their guests attended the Lakers versus the Sacramento Kings’ evening game. Photo by Edgar Nava, Space Systems Command.
