As part of the festivities, Kallie Santos, Folds of Honor scholarship recipient and nursing student, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch and change a base in the third inning.
Plus, fans are invited to visit the Budweiser Folds of Honor kiosk at the First Base Gate Plaza to write thank you notes to military members. The notes will be sent to military that are currently deployed.

The Phillies caps and socks will be available in a limited quantity for fans to purchase at the Majestic Clubhouse Store.
