Saturday's football game against Utah kicks off one day before the 10th anniversary of September 11th, so we are taking the opportunity to honor the heroes and victims of that great American tragedy and current members of the armed forces who defend our country on a daily basis.Upon entry to the Coliseum, 50,000 American flags will be distributed to the fans. Plus, all military personnel and veterans, police officers, fire fighters and EMTs will receive 2-for-1 tickets by clicking here or using the code "JFD."
Our own war hero Louis Zamperini will be the honorary captain for the day and present the coin to be tossed at midfield. We will also bring several veterans of Iraq on the field for the national anthem.
After a moment of silence for the fallen, we'll cheer an Air Force flyover.
We'll auction off the inaugural Pac-12 commemorative football and the funds will go to the 9/11 Memorial plus $5 from every ticket will be donated to Wounded Warriors.
The support Trojan nation is showing to our military and civilian servicemembers makes me proud to be a Trojan! Fight On!
