This Day In Dodgers History: Justin Turner Day Established In Los Angeles
"In recognition of the impact Justin Turner and his wife Kourtney made in the local community, the Los Angeles City Council in 2019 proclaimed January 22 as Justin Turner Day in Los Angeles. Turner was honored during a special ceremony at City Hall, which overlapped with the annual Los Angeles Dodgers Love L.A. Community Tour week. Turner then went to Dodger Stadium to help the team host their first-ever military enlistment day."
"The on-field event was held for 39 first-time enlistments, three re-enlistments, and their family members. Turner greeted each participant and offered words of support and encouragement in a heartfelt speech. Since the recognition from the city, the Turners and Justin Turner Foundation have continued with a tireless commitment of giving back and providing for those in need. They work hand-in-hand with the Dream Center, partnering on several events, including recently bringing a Christmas Dreamland to life."
