Local Veterans, Active Service Members and members of the public are invited to attend a special gathering later this week.

Then, he will receive his Hometown Hero award during a ceremony at Art Bernardi Stadium around 6:30 p.m. Admission to the game is free for veterans and active military personnel with proof of service.
