In conjunction with Sarge's birthday, we'll host Military Appreciation. Don't be late for the game as a howitzer will be fired, a special coin will be used for the coin flip and Future Soldiers will be sworn in all before kick off. Our fans will also have the opportunity to learn more about the life of a soldier in an Interactive Army Trailer outside our gates before the game starts. To show our support to our real life heroes there will also be a Remembrance Table on the concourse to honor POW and MIA as well as a chance for you to say thank you to a soldier overseas at our Card Making Table in the Fun Zone. The Chicago Slaughter will also be supporting Operation Care Package with a Military Drive for all men and women overseas. Be sure to bring all donated items to customer service throughout the game for a free ticket voucher for an upcoming 2012 Slaughter home game. On Military Appreciation Night all active military personnel and veterans will receive a free ticket by showing their military ID, while their families are offered discounted tickets.
