 Senior Chief Petty Officer Carl Thompson was presented the Bob Feller Active Valor Award in a ceremony at the Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. November 5th. It's such a great honor. I'm extremely proud and humbled by this experience. Truly was a great American hero, both on the baseball field as well as the battlefield. It's a great humbling experience and an honor to me. The award is given to three people who represent the important areas of Feller's life. Major League Baseball career, his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and his service as a Navy Chief Petty Officer. Other 2014 award recipients include Cleveland Indians, First Basement, Nick Swisher, and Baseball Hall of Famer, Tommy Losorda. Reporting from the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer James Norman.
