The Los Angeles Dodgers were off Thursday, which gave the organization an opportunity to pay tribute to the 13 United States service members who lost their lives in last week’s attack at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan.
Flags were flown at half-staff throughout Dodger Stadium, and the club placed customized jerseys with the fallen troops’ names and the No. 13 on the pitcher’s mound.
The team also announced they will host local family members of the fallen heroes at a future game.
Among the victims was Rancho Cucamonga, California native Dylan Merola.
