In the final home game of the season, ULM honored the military.

Parked in front of Malone Stadium were several armed vehicles and some friendly faces dressed in camouflage.

“We were really proud to be there,and especially seeing the community show support to us,” second lieutenant Antonio Tims said.

The battalion had a 100 percent turn out and made for a very successful honorarium.

Tims said, “It was a really good feeling.”

The soldiers had games and activities for children such as the rock wall and space walks.

After the singing of the National anthem, two military fighter planes flew over Malone Stadium, followed by skydivers and ULM’s mascot, Ace the Warhawk.

Sophomore golf team member, Lea Anna Cardwell said, “It was really nice to honor the military, because they are the reason we are able to do the things we do, like come to school and watch the football game.”
