Slippery Rock University is recognizing the courageous men and women who risk their lives to serve others at an event on Saturday.
SRU’s third annual “Salute to Military and First Responders” event will take place at the university’s Mihalik-Thompson Stadium before the football game against California University at 6 p.m.
All military veterans, current military personnel and first responders will be admitted to the game for free. They will be asked to stand and be recognized between the first and second quarters.
The Pennsylvania National Guard will have interactive displays, VA Butler Healthcare will have a tent with veterans’ information and the Slippery Rock Volunteer Fire Department will have a fire truck on display. Fans can show their support with the purchase of a specially designed t-shirt for $5 at the SGA Bookstore in the Smith Student Center or at the gate on game day.
