Thank you to all of our Veterans who sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Eddie Grant, who died while serving as a Captain in the U.S. Army's 77th Division during World War I. He was killed in action on October 5, 1918, while leading a rescue mission to find the "Lost Battalion" in the Argonne Forest. He was the first MLB player to be killed in combat and is honored with a replica plaque at the San Francisco Giants' stadium.
