The Charleston RiverDogs and Boeing will host their final Hall of Honor induction ceremony of 2021 prior to Friday night's Boeing Military Appreciation Night at The Joe. The ceremony will recognize Master Sergeant Tom Crawford of the United States Air Force and Major Angie Powers of the United States Army Reserve in its fourth class of inductees.
The Hall of Honor is the most recent addition to Boeing and the RiverDogs joint military appreciation platform, which aims to honor and celebrate military families in the Lowcountry through various recognition programs. The team inducted two classes of two inductees each during 2020 and one class of two inductees this May.
At each Boeing Military Appreciation Night a minimum of two inductees will be enshrined into the Hall of Honor. A community military committee chooses the inductees from a long list of nominees, including many who are nominated through the Hall of Honor's public nomination link.
All inductees will be recognized on the field on a Military Appreciation Night, and will have their story told on the RiverDogs' Hall of Honor web site.
The ceremony will take place on the field at The Joe at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, August 20 prior to that night's 7:05 first pitch against the Columbia Fireflies. Media members are invited to attend.
