Military Appreciation Day
The Clemson University Athletic
Department will recognize and honor its fallen
soldiers, veterans, and current military personnel
serving in the armed forces during pregame, in-
game, and halftime ceremonies on Saturday.
Veterans and current soldiers can participate in a parade to the stadium through the
Clemson campus. The parade lineup is at 10:45
AM outside of Holmes and McCabe dormitories
on Fort Hill Street. The parade will begin at
11:00 AM and will end at the tunnel of Littlejohn
Coliseum.
Saturday’s Colors will be presented by
the Clemson University Company C-4 Pershing
Rifles. At the conclusion of the national anthem,
six vintage post World War II Warbirds will do a
flyover of Memorial Stadium.
The South Carolina National Guard
designed the coin used in the pregame coin toss.
The commemorative coin honors all the soldiers
with a tribute to the Purple Heart.
Throughout the game, there will be
ceremonies and recognitions at timeouts to
honor different groups of the United States military. These include military dignitaries, Wounded
Warriors, Honor Flight, and members of the USS
Clemson.
All veterans and current soldiers from
both schools are invited to participate in halftime
ceremonies by gathering in the West endzone
with five minutes remaining in the second quarter
by using portals W and X.
Halftime ceremonies will feature the
parade of veterans and current soldiers onto
the field. The Summerall Guards from The
Citadel will perform along with Tiger Band. They
will play the military hymns of the five service
branches and “American Soldier.”
Prior to the playing of TAPS, there will
be a 21-gun salute performed by the Pershing
Rifles.
Fans have the opportunity to take part
by purchasing this year’s Military Appreciation
Day t-shirt. A portion of the proceeds from the
sale of the shirt will go towards the military programs at Clemson University. The purple t-shirts
will be on sale in the stadium on the day of the
game.

And they were interviewing the LTC of the Army ROTC and he said it would be a war-bird flyover. So, a mix of WWII vintage aircraft, if I had to guess. (Civilian owned, since Uncle Barry hates us)

I sure hope there are some Mustangs and a Corsair or two..
Even a P-47 T-Bolt or some AT-6/SNJ's
The sound of a Merlin and a P&W 2800 radial are sweet music.

escort for heavy bombers over Japan. Didn't talk about it but once. Said he saw some kamikazes crash into some American ships in a battle he participated in. He shot down a Japanese plane but never said what kind.
The story that got me was what it was like on the island they had their airbase. He said at night the sky would be lit up with flashes as big battles raged somewhere out there on the Pacific. He always was wondering who was giving and who was taking it. That send chills through me when I heard it. He was a brave man.

I was in Clemson the week-end they had the Warbirds Over Monroe, and a friend of mine was there. They had a B-25, Six or so P-51D's and two F4U Corsairs. Those 14' props beat the air like crazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzyyyy!!!!
Would absolutely love to see two passes at 350mph.

Is not allowed to do flyovers for events. Budget reasons. Glad to see they have a solid plan B.
