He received the Warren Giles Award for out- standing service as a league president in both 2011 and 1991 and the Friends of Baseball Chapel Award in 1994. “It is a tremendous hon- or to accept this very pres- tigious award on behalf of those who truly deserve it – the 2,000-plus outstand- ing and very brave men and women of the Armed Forces who have attended our an- nual patriotic tributes to be thanked, honored and salut- ed for their service to our nation,” said Howard. For winning the award, Minor League Baseball char- ities will split a $5,000 do- nation between the Oregon Paralyzed Veterans of Ameri- ca and Serving Our Veterans at Home, two organizations that have been participants in Salem-Keizer’s patriotic tributes. Perennially committed to honoring and serving veter- ans, active military and their families, the Volcanoes once again hosted their 12th an- nual Patriotic Tribute on July 4. Led by Howard (U.S. Air Force, 1961–66), the theme of this year’s event was “A Time to Recognize and Honor the Youth of Our Military Families.” For his efforts in coor- dinating both the patriotic tribute and the fallen war- rior ceremony, Howard him- self was awarded the 2019 national award for distin- guished service by the Asso- ciation of the United States Army. The honor is the as- sociation’s highest civilian award and shows appreci- ation for Howard’s efforts in thanking, honoring and saluting veterans and active military for several years. He was also honored by the Vol- canoes during the patriotic tribute through the unveil- ing of a fallen warrior stat- ue at Volcanoes Stadium on the main concourse behind home plate, which is ded- icated to fallen soldiers in Howard’s honor. “Jerry Howard’s efforts to acknowledge, thank and honor our servicemen and women, as well as their fami- lies, are exemplary of the type of passion deserving of the Charles K. Murphy Patriot Award,” said Minor League Baseball President and CEO Pat O’Conner. “He is very deserving of this award, and as a veteran himself, it is my honor to, on behalf of Minor League Baseball, present him with this award.” “Honor, service and com- munity are the foundation of all that the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes stand for,” said Volcanoes owner Jerry Walker. “I am proud of what Jerry Howard has selfl essly achieved with this program, and equally proud of all our active servicemen, service- women and all veterans who give so much in the defense of freedom and liberty. This award recognizes, at its pur- est form, the power of public service.” OH, WHAT A TEAM!
