On Military Appreciation Night, the Richmond Flying Squirrels honored not just service members, but also families grieving the loss of a loved one through TAPS, a vital support network founded by Major Bonnie Carroll. During the pregame ceremony, these families unfurled a giant American flag as the National Anthem played, joined by Carroll and sponsor Jonathan Cotten. Players wore jerseys bearing the names of fallen heroes, turning the game into a moving tribute.
