While attendance at Sunday’s opening ceremonies for the Patriot-All America Golf Invitational was limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event continued its decade-long tradition of paying homage to the nation’s heroes with splashes of color from the sky.
Precisely at 3:30 p.m., master of ceremonies Jeff Munn welcomed 84 players and others at the Wigwam Golf Club in Litchfield Park to the collegiate tournament presented by Valley Toyota Dealers and hosted by the West Valley Mavericks Foundation, Arizona Golf Association and Golf Coaches of America.
Two minutes later, six members of the U.S. Air Force Academy’s Wings of Blue Parachute Team began descending onto the club’s driving range as Technical Sgt. Paul Willis narrated their story.
