Iraqi War veteran Sgt. Eric Manzebo leads U.S. Marines Boxing Team at Foxwoods Veterans' Day Spectacular Nov. 11
Iraqi War veteran Sgt. Eric Manzebo leads the U.S. Marines Boxing Team from Camp Lejeune (NC) on the second annual Great Northeast Tour, promoted by S & L Boxing, and headlined by the November 11th Veterans' Day Spectacular at Foxwoods Resort Casino.
The Great Northeast Tour showcases at Foxwoods an amateur boxing competition involving members of the U.S. Marines, National Native American, and Team Connecticut amateur boxing clubs.
Sgt. Manzebo, from Staten Island (NY), recently returned from eight months active duty in Baghdad. He is matched in a 201-pound heavyweight novice match against Nate Jimmerson, a member of the Seneca Tribal Nation in Cauteragues, New York.
Last year a near sellout crowd enjoyed an evening of boxing and patriotism at Foxwoods. All five branches of the United States military will be well represented, either in the ring or in attendance, including the U.S. Marines, Army (West Point), Navy (Groton submarine base), Coast Guard (academy in New London) and Air Force (ROTC at UConn.).
Members of the U.S. Marines Boxing Team will receive a tour of the Mashantucket Pequot Museum, which is on the reservation, about a mile from Foxwoods. For more information about the 2nd annual Great Northeast Tour call 1.800.200.2882 or visit www.foxwoods.com.
