A nation stood arm in arm, united by courage, compassion, and service.

Join Northwood University as we honor first responders, military members, veterans, and Gold Star families who continue to serve. Heroes receive complimentary tickets to the game, a family-friendly tailgate, commemorative gifts, and special recognition.

The memorial installation behind Hantz Stadium will remain open throughout the day for reflection.
