December 12, 2015 – The Charlotte Hornets and Bank of America tonight will honor United States Army Sergeant First Class Jeremy Hetrick as this season’s third recipient of the season-long Yellow Ribbon Program. An initiative that honors veterans for their unwavering service to our country, the Yellow Ribbon Program recognizes military heroes during one Hornets’ home game per month. Recipients are honored prior to the national anthem and during an on-court presentation at halftime, and are given five tickets to the game for them and their family, along with a check for $1,000. In addition, they are introduced to Charlotte Bridge Home, a local organization that seeks to help successfully transition retired soldiers from military to civilian life.
