TAPS Fallen Heroes to be honored May 19
Philadelphia Union will host Military Appreciation Night in the team's matchup against Real Salt Lake this Saturday, May 19.
During training on May 18, Philadelphia Union players will wear the last names of the 15 fallen heroes who will be honored during the match on the back of their limited edition military practice jerseys. Families of each of those fallen heroes will be on hand during the team's training session and join the Union for lunch in the club after practice.
On May 19 during the match, the families of the fallen heroes will also be honored as our Honorary Captains and will participate in a jersey exchange when the game concludes.
