The Young Marines waited in anticipation for their que to march out. The young singer from Mt. Carmel High school stepped out and took her position. The Young Marines were given the go ahead to march out the colors.

As the Young Marines marched out the colors the ESPN announcer announced the please rise for the marching of the colors by the “Temecula Valley Young Marines”. There was a thunder of cheers as the Young Marines marched out. The colors were presented and the National Anthem was sung , . According to Sandy the Wounded Warriors liaison she said there were people in tears and yelling thank you to the Young Marines.
