San Diego Padres fans at Petco Park got a special treat when the Navy SEALS parachute team dropped in before the team’s opening game on Sunday. The Leap Frogs were honoring late Padres announcer Jerry Coleman.

Coleman was a Marine Corps vet who passed away in January, reports Bleacher Report. The Leap Frogs flew a flag adorned with Coleman’s initials and a star.

Luckily, one of the members of the parachute team wore a GoPro camera on his helmet, so fans are able to see the descent from the sky.
