A pre-event Veterans Reception will be held from 9 a.m. until 10 a.m. at 544 Café on the WHS campus facing Kroger supermarket. Shuttles will be provided to take the veterans from the reception to the stadium.

AFJROTC cadets extend a special invitation to all school district employees who are veterans.

Veterans in attendance will be recognized by era and then by branch of service, with branch service music played.
