This Saturday, patriotism will run high at Oklahoma’s Memorial Stadium.

The red carpet will be unrolled for Army’s football team. Veterans will be recognized. OU will have an evening-long salute to our armed forces.

I’m excited to see the recognition. No doubt I’ll be caught up in the moment.

I’m guilty of taking our freedoms for granted. It’s because of the brave men and women protecting our country.

To those serving our country – thank you.
