I often take for granted the sacrifice of our military's time, and sometimes lives, that allows me to enjoy even the simplest freedoms As we remember our veterans today, I thought I would share some pics from Clemson University's Military Appreciation Day held Saturday during the Clemson/NC State game. Clemson was a military school up until the 1950's and is very proud of its students and alumni who have served our country.
Four F-16 jets from Shaw Air Force Base flew over the stadium
a few minutes before the kickoff of the game.
The crew included some Clemson alumni.

More than 70,000 spectators were in silent as a
helmet, boots and wreath were placed on the field.
Following a salute by members of the Pershing Rifles team,
the Tiger Band played taps. A very solemn, humbling moment.
