Atlanta Braves Host Medal of Honor Recipients
The National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership will collaborate with the Atlanta Braves for an evening of recognition and reflection on May 23 during their Military Appreciation Day presented by T-Mobile at Truist Park as the Braves take on the San Diego Padres. This special day will include a pregame ceremony featuring a tribute to Medal of Honor recipients Edward C. Byers Jr., U.S. Navy retired, and Leroy A. Petry, U.S. Army retired, who will be honored on-field for their extraordinary service and sacrifice. The Medal of Honor is the nation's highest award for valor in combat. Today, only 61 living recipients remain — and two will take center stage at Truist Park to share the values that defined their service: courage, integrity, commitment, sacrifice, citizenship and patriotism. Their stories, shared in the presence of Braves fans and community leaders, offer lessons that transcend the battlefield and resonate across every facet of American life. The special on-field presentation will be one of several ways the Braves will commemorate Military Appreciation Day. Guests of the National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership — including veterans, supporters and civic leaders — will gather in a private suite provided by the Braves to celebrate these heroes and the organization's mission to deliver values-based leadership education programming nationwide. The National Medal of Honor Center for Leadership is committed to preparing individuals across all walks of life to meet their moment. Through immersive programs and its upcoming flagship facility in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, the Center for Leadership is equipping tomorrow's leaders with the values that define the nation's greatest heroes.
