Watching 105 young men and women take the oath of enlistment for all military branches during halftime: Utterly amazing, given our times.
It was military appreciation day at the Jaguars game and the field was filled with military, including WWII vets. A Stealth bomber did the opening flyby and the National Anthem was sung by a soldier in Balad. Quite a night. For the military families in the stands, there were few dry eyes.
Now if only the Jaguars could put together four quarters of decent football.....
These soldiers reenlisted.
