Council Rock Brewery's Becky Davidson, former Coopertown Chamber stalwart, is heading up the committee to bring the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team back to play on Doubleday Field and Damaschke Field during Memorial Day Weekend 2015.

They will be playing at Damaschke Field in Oneonta on Saturday and Doubleday Field in Cooperstown on Sunday.

Every player is a Veteran from Iraq or Afghanistan and has lost a limb. At least two of them have lost both legs.  "This does not stop them from making the best of their lives," said Becky.  "They are an inspiration to everyone.  One of the greatest things that they do (in my opinion) is their work with children who have also lost limbs."
