South Bend, Indiana (May 20, 2014)- Join your Silver Hawks and the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians' Four Winds=D2 casinos on May 26th as they honor men and women who are serving, or have served, in the U.S. military. Active military and veterans will be admitted to Monday's, Memorial Day game for free. All active and inactive military must present military ID at the Silver Hawks' Box Office in order to receive free admittance to the game.

Department of Veteran Affairs Readjustment Counseling Services (VA) will also be on site during the game with their Mobile Vet Center. The VA is committed to decreasing barriers to obtaining care by providing access and connection to services where Veterans and their families live, especially in rural areas. The VA is also committed to reaching out and making a personal Veteran to Veteran connection with all Veterans and their families, to help them better understand and access the services and benefits that they earned through military service.

"Memorial Day is a day that we can show our appreciation and honor the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. In addition to honoring our fallen service men and women, it is also a day that we can show our thanks to those who are serving, or have served, this great country. Without these men and women we certainly would not have all the freedoms that we enjoy on a daily basis. We feel it is extremely important to share our gratitude and one way we can do that is to provide all active military and all veterans with a free ticket to our Memorial Day game. In addition to the game ticket we will make it a point to recognize each branch of the military during the game as well." states Team President, Joe Hart.
