Celebrating Jerry Coleman’s 100th with Care Packages for Marines

Share

Volunteers from across San Diego assembled Care Packages for deployed Marines from 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. The long-time voice of the Padres, “The Colonel,” Jerry Coleman, started a tradition to take a pause and gather on his birthday to assemble CARE packages with essentials to deployed Marine Corps Aviation units.

For his 100th, the Padres commemorated him at the San Diego Air & Space Museum in the presence of a Marine Corps F4U Corsair (the same type of aircraft Coleman flew in combat in Korea) with his name stenciled outside the cockpit.
