The Wounded Warriors Project and New York Yankees have a program to honor Veterans. One Veteran is brought on to the playing field and introduced to the crowd during the 7th inning stretch at Yankee Stadium.

My father, Philip P. Perugini, has been chosen to be so honored on Thursday, August 7, 2014. It is a 1:05 pm game against the Central Division leading Detroit Tigers. My father - a former member of the 101st Airborne Division, Easy Company - was wounded as he parachuted into Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The World War II exploits of his company were featured in the 2001 HBO mini-series, “Band of Brothers.”
