Military Appreciation, when it comes to sporting events, is always a special day. The mixture of pageantry and reverence to honor individuals who make the decision to serve something greater than themselves is something I look forward to. Whether it’s on the national level, an NFL game or Saturday’s Husker game perhaps, or High School athletics honoring service men and women during a halftime presentation or performance. As someone who comes from a long line of military personnel, it always moves me to honor those who answered the call to defend our nation.
