AARP Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley IronPigs—the triple-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies Major League Baseball team—join forces to honor veterans. The Salute to Service program honors one military veteran from any branch, of any era, at each of the 75 home games during the season.

AARP and Blue Star Families will host a free, virtual event to help veterans and military spouses leverage upskilling and technology to accelerate their careers and find flexible or remote career paths.
