WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest University will honor the men and women of the United States Armed Services on Saturday, Sept. 22, during Military Appreciation Day, which will include an Navy Helo flyover minutes before the 12:30 p.m. kickoff of the Wake Forest-Army football game.

Military Appreciation Day, a series of events planned in conjunction with Wake Forest's homecoming game, includes a special ticket promotion for members of the armed services. Other planned activities include the display of several military vehicles outside of BB&T Field prior to the game, the Golden Knight Parachute Demonstration Team, and a Medal of Honor Recipient Presentation.

"Saturday will be a day where we salute those that have served or are currently serving our Nation," said Wake Forest Director of Marketing Brad Keen. "As our team takes the field against Army, we are reminded that those young men are not only Student-Athletes but the future leaders of our country."

We invite fans to be in their seats early, as pre-game festivities will begin around 12:10 p.m. For all active or retired military interested in attending, please contact the Wake Forest group sales team at 336-758-4030 for more information.
