Prince Harry is set to receive a special honor at the 2024 ESPY Awards.

On Thursday, June 27, ESPN announced Harry, 39, will be this year’s recipient of the Pat Tillman Award for Service. Each year, the award is presented to someone who has used their connection to the world of sports to positively impact the lives of others. It’s named in honored of legendary NFL player and U.S. Army Ranger, Pat Tillman.

The Duke of Sussex was chosen as the 2024 honoree in recognition of the profound impact he has had on the veteran community with his Invictus Games Foundation. Harry began the foundation after spending 10 years in the British Armed Forces, during which time he completed two tours of duty in Afghanistan and served as a forward air controller and Apache helicopter pilot. Through his foundation, the prince empowers wounded, sick and injured servicemen and women to stay active and form communities through their involvement in sports activities.

In response to learning he will receive the Pat Tillman Award at this year’s ESPYS, Harry said, “This one is for our entire service community.”

The Invictus Games have become a worldwide phenomenon, changing the lives of soldiers on every continent. In honor of the 10th anniversary of the Games, Harry has been celebrating the Invictus community with visits to the U.K. and Nigeria.

Harry is gearing up for the first-ever Winter Invictus Games, which will be held in Whistler, Canada, in 2025. The Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, were in Canada in February to kickoff a year of celebrations leading up to the big event.
