God bless our vets

Michigan Football does a good job acknowledging the US Military and honoring Vets.
We should never stop showing our gratitude and admiration for the people who don the uniform of our military service branches.
Go Blue and God Bless America!

Thankful to have a school that honors them well.
Winovich's comments a case in point.
Was a bit discouraged by both the conservative playcalling and the failure to execute even on such a selection of plays.
But at the end of the day, is it bad that I feel good for AirForce that they acquitted themselves well and didn't get embarrassed?
Purdue, however. I wouldn't mind embarrassing them next week. It feels like we need a coming out game. I'd be ok with crushing sparty for that though.

There are many who could have their feelings hurt.

Veterans tailgate? Where is that at? My buddy (Army vet, purple heart, UM alum) and I (UM alum, active duty USMC) will be attending for the Minnesota game. We'd both love to swing by and tell YOU thank you.

I'd also like to know where this tailgate is located. I'll be taking my nephew to a game later this year and would love to swing by as well.

have sent them off to die in stupid wars.
I say this as someone whose grandfather was a decorated WWI hero and whose father and all his uncles served valiantly. Hats off to the men who serve but not to venal politicians or arms manufacturers.
No reflexive, knee-jerk worship of anything warlike from me, either; I'll revere the men in all their courage and vulnerability but keep my thinking cap on to the bitter end.

I thought this was about honoring vets not calling out politicians. Because that deserves its own thread. Just not here.

Be careful. Don't say anything that inspires critical thinking beyond memes in this thread.

Our ROTC detachments preside over the flag raising inside Michigan Stadium. It connects us to our past, good and bad, and helps make the game-watching experience American like apple pie.
For an example of how not to open a college football game, consider

Minor suggestion: Change the title to "Bless the vets." It's more inclusive.
September 16th, 2017 at 9:36 PM ^
September 16th, 2017 at 10:10 PM ^
It doesn't appear to be a joke.
Do you know what inclusive means? To the point, do you realize that the people posting here may not all practice the same religion?

last time I checked this isn't a Christian nation, but one of many different spiritual beliefs. Let's be welcoming to all.

I served. There are more and more of us calling each other every year on Vets Day and just thanking each other for our service and talking about old times. Its like a holiday. Fun stuff.
So glad Michigans does this.

I've been lucky, all three of the games so far have aired on AFN, so I have been able to watch. I am in Afghanistan right now on what will hopefully be my last deployment before I retire. Last summer I got to meet AFA DT Santo Coppola during his summer trip to the base I am stationed at. I spoke with him mostly about his future career as a commissioned officer and leader, but I has to talk college football with him as well. We talked about the upcoming Michigan game as well, and I just got done talking to him again. Great young man.
