For Patrick Wise, this Wednesday had a bit more significance than others prior throughout the course of this football season.
"It's a very special day for me today," Wise said Wednesday, Veteran's Day. "Especially to everyone that has laid the foundation before me and to everybody that is currently serving, I still salute them as well."
Wise served four years in the United States Navy at the Kings Bay Submarine Base in southeast Georgia before trying out for the Buckeyes. He finds his name across a Block O hanging on a wall that stretches between the Ohio State team room and coaching offices at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
