I read where the NFL charges the Department of Defense each time it does a military tribute - ugh!
Would be nice if we could have a fly-over from the local reserve base.

Did someone say "fly-over"? We have have all seen it, we know it is awesome. I say (if possible) do it on the opener, the veteran's day game (which is always televised as part of the MVFC network) and when we happen to get a home play-off game.
I remember that the Army Golden Knights used to deliver the game ball by parachuting down to the center of the field (landed on the penguin logo) before the kickoff. It was really cool.

You are correct Rock. We read in the VFW magazine exactly that. The NFL commisioner makes $ 44,ooo,ooo per year. Is it any doubt that it bankrupts a working man & his family to see 1 NFL game ?

Time to forget those cry-babies that need to throw for a yard and support you local college or university. :)

YSU is a better value for your buck and we run the ball!!

IAA:

Forgot them a long time ago.  Just stating what they do for military recognition and concerned what would be charged to a university.  We have a good Army ROTC program.  Hopefully they could pick up on some of the suggestions.  I just don't suggest firing Penny out of the cannon.
