The Oregon football team had their spring game last Saturday, and they dedicated the game to the U.S. military.
Before the game, the National Anthem was played by the Oregon marching band, followed by a flyover where two F-15 fighter jets flew over the stadium.
A record crowd of over 44,000 fans came out to watch the spring game. Afterwards, a postgame ceremony was held where select U.S. Armed Forces personnel met the members of the Oregon football team in the middle of the field. The players took the jerseys off their backs and exchanged them for special military challenge coins.
Hats off to the Oregon football team for a nice tribute to the U.S. Armed Forces.
