SAN
DIEGO and CARLSBAD,
Calif., April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The
San Diego Padres and Viasat Inc., (NASDAQ: VSAT) today
announced that they will unveil the Viasat Military Hall of Honor
this Sunday, April 24th,
as part of the latest update to the Power Alley located in the
right field concourse. The Padres, widely regarded as Major League
Baseball's "Team of the Military" are partnering with Viasat to
honor former Padres and other Major League Baseball players around
the league who served in the military and pay tribute to Armed
Services' veterans and those currently serving the U.S. military at
home and around the world. An official unveiling event for the new
area will take place Sunday before the Padres take on the Los
Angeles Dodgers.
The Military Hall of Honor, located in the Power Alley main
concourse near section 133 will serve as an interactive space
allowing fans to view information and different content on each
honoree through two (2) touchscreen televisions within the space.
Fans will also be able to record and send personalized messages to
active-duty military members and various military bases in a
dedicated recording booth located within the Hall of Honor
area.
"We are proud to be partnering with the Padres on the Military
Hall of Honor to recognize the sacrifice of U.S. veterans and thank
active service members around the world for their contributions,"
said Craig Miller, president of
Viasat Government Systems. "Viasat strongly supports U.S. military
service members, veterans and their families by providing
employment opportunities, career and skills development,
fellowships, and veterans transition workshops. A large contingent
of Viasat's workforce are veterans, so supporting the military
community and helping those still serving is a fundamental part of
who we are and what we do every day."
"We are very proud to acknowledge and support our active
military members and veterans alike through the Viasat Military
Hall of Honor," said Padres CEO Erik
Greupner. "Viasat is the perfect partner to help us pay
homage to our troops through this new space that gives fans the
opportunity to express their gratitude to military members
worldwide."
Viasat employs hundreds of veterans throughout its commercial
and government business segments and across offices in the U.S. and
abroad. The Company was selected by the U.S. Department of Labor as
a 2021 HIRE Vets Medallion Award recipient, which recognizes
