Operation Homefront Georgia and the Atlanta Braves are honoring "Hometown Heroes" every Sunday at Braves' home games this season. On May 3, Sgt. Fair, United States Marine Corps was honored during the sixth inning by all fans at Turner Field. Sgt. Fair was escorted out onto the field where he got the crowd on their feet. Photographs of Sgt. Fair were shown on the outfield jumbotron after the announcer spoke of his tours in Iraq and great service to our country. Sgt. Fair received high fives and hand shakes all around as he exited the field back to his seat.
We are so proud of Sgt. Fair and his family, not only for his bravery and service but for being a genuinely nice person. Way to go Sgt. Fair!
Photographs & Videos forthcoming. To see all Sunday highlights of heroes visit the blog often!
