Military Appreciation Day Sept 10
Does anyone have any details on events for the day? I am taking my nephew that served in the Army in Afghanistan. Don't have much time but looked around on MGoBlue and did'nt find anything. Wish this was promoted better so we can all get ours vets to a game. Thanks for the help. I'm wearing Navy along with the Jumpman ... Dad served in WWII and Korean.

No way. Does Army even have a football team, anymore? Haven't heard from them in forever...

Doesn't matter either way since Air Force will take home the CinC Trophy.

In the past it's been a scoreboard tribute/acknowledgment and the band plays the hymns/songs of all the branches. The announcer asks those who served in each branch to stand for their hymn and to be recognized.
That's how it was last time I went to one, which admittedly was a few years ago.
My understanding is that there's going to be someone parachuting into the stadium as well.

http://www.mgoblue.com/tickets/fbl-military.html Too impatient to try and figure out how to imbed a link.
Edit: I guess it just "happens" when you paste a URL in plain text mode. The (old?) instructions I found seemed like too much effort for tonight.
PS - Thanks to you and your kin for having our back.

Those are my favorite warplanes. As nasty as they are ugly.

Drew Henson had just been signed away by Steinbrenner. His old teammate, Tom Brady, was the backup quarterback for New England, although he'd get a shot at playing time in a couple weeks' time.
I also did not have a cell phone. They went very quickly from being a rare item to something everyone had, right in the next couple of years.
