Missouri National Guard honors FOX Sports Midwest for telecast to troops

The Missouri National Guard recognized FOX Sports Midwest this week for its support of soldiers and their families via the network's annual This One's For You telecast.

Representatives of the 220th Engineer Company (still deployed in Afghanistan) and the 220th families here in Missouri presented FOX Sports Midwest with a framed recognition and battalion coins.

The recognition reads: "In grateful recognition to the staff of FOX Sports Midwest for their support to the soldiers and families of the 220th Engineer Company, 1140th Engineer Battalion, Missouri National Guard. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to recognize the 220th Engineer Company during the "This One's For You" broadcast on 19 August 2014. It was an amazing event that exceeded everyone's expectations and could only be accomplished with the full and unwavering support of FOX Sports Midwest and the St. Louis Cardinals."

This One's For You, produced under the banner of FOX Sports Supports, is FOX Sports Midwest's annual Cardinals telecast to troops overseas. The 2014 edition took place Aug. 19. Soldiers in the 220th Engineer Company of the Missouri National Guard in Kandahar, Afghanistan, watched the Cardinals game via American Forces Network and several were interviewed throughout the game. In addition, more than 1,000 family members attended the game at Busch Stadium. And thousands of fans sent Tweets thanking the troops. This was FOX Sports Midwest's 10th year producing a This One's For You telecast.
