    U.S. Army Capt. Michael A Slapik, a parachutist with the Fort Benning, Ga., -based Silver Wings Exhibition Team, aerially glides in to hand off the ball for the first pitch to Army Recruiting Command’s deputy commanding general Brig. Gen. Henry L. Huntley for the ceremonial first pitch kicking off the Braves versus Los Angeles Angels baseball game Friday night. It was a showcase of the strength of the modern U.S. Army on full display at the Atlanta Braves Turner Field Friday night in celebration of the U.S. Army’s 239th birthday. The Georgia Army National Guard marched onto the field along with future Soldiers who were sworn in officiated by the Army’s recruiting command. The Fort Benning, Ga., -based Silver Wings Parachuting Exhibition Team landed with the official play ball and the national anthem was sang by combat veteran Sgt. Corrin Alicia Campbell who performs as part of the Army’s musical outreach.(Georgia National Guard photo by Army Staff Sgt. Tracy J. Smith)
