San Antonio Talons News Release
WHAT: On Fri., May 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Alamodome, the San Antonio Talons will honor San Antonio's military. For the game against the Spokane Shock, active military, veterans and reserves who show up in uniform will receive free admission. In addition, their families who accompany them will receive 50 percent off admission. Anyone who purchases a ticket and presents a military ID will receive 50 percent off admission as well.
A portion of proceeds from ticket sales will benefit The Warrior and Family Support Center (WFSC) at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC). The WFSC provides coordinated services to patients, next-of-kin and extended family members with a primary focus on wounded Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom warriors. Wounded warriors and their family members visit the WFSC to extend their rehabilitation away from the hospital by learning to cope with war related disabilities as individuals, as couples and as families.

The Air Force Delayed Entry Program is an Air Force program under which an individual may enlist in a Reserve or Inactive Component of the United States Air Force and specify a future reporting date for entry on active duty in the Active Component that would coincide with availability of training spaces and with personal milestones.
