With Tuesday marking the 11th anniversary of the events that took place on Sept. 11, 2001, the Red Sox honored their local servicemen by inviting them to Fenway Park before their game against the Yankees.

Brian Branley, a member of the U.S. Army, was on hand with his family to watch the game and take in the pregame ceremonies.

NESN's own Tom Caron spoke with Branley before the game about his experience overseas and how he kept in tune with his local sports teams while fighting for his country.
