Nationals Patriotic Series & Military Branch Days return
The Washington Nationals will mark the return of the Patriotic Series presented by SAIC when the team hosts Military Appreciation Day on Wednesday, April 12. To honor the men and women of the U.S. military, the Nationals will offer complimentary tickets to military service members and their families for Wednesday's game. Active duty service members, dependents, reservists, veterans and retirees may claim up to two complimentary tickets for each military ID or proof of service, and purchase additional tickets at a discounted rate.
The team will also again host Military Branch Days, a special series of games throughout the season that will pay tribute to each of the five branches of our nation's military.
