WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Winston-Salem State University Athletics will be hosting a Veterans Appreciation Day to thank those who have served their community and their country. There will be events throughout the day to help and to honor our veterans ending with special presentations before and during the WSSU Ram's football game against Fayetteville State University at Bowman Gray Stadium.
The first 500 veterans participating in the Veterans Fair can receive a free ticket to the football game, purchase three additional tickets at the discounted price of $10 and enjoy a free lunch.
There will be a Veterans Fair from 9 a.m. until noon at the Reserve Center, 1245 S. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, Winston-Salem (across from Bowman Gray Stadium), as well as the Veterans Administration will be providing a variety of information on benefits. The VA Hospital will be on site to do screenings, healthcare education and enrollment, and there will also be free flu shots for the first 200 veterans.
Veterans can pick up a free ticket to the WSSU football game and you can purchase up to three discounted tickets for family members at $10 each. The tickets are good for entrance to the game and for the Meal of Honor cookout at the Chancellor's Hospitality Tent in the field house parking lot. A game ticket is required for entry to that lot and will serve as your ticket for lunch. Please bring your DD214 or Veterans ID Card with you for verification.
Veterans can park for free at the Anderson Center, and Lot Q (Reynolds Park Road) on campus and there will be shuttle service to the Veterans Fair and from the Fair to the Hospitality Tent. There will also be cadet escorts for those who want to walk across the street from the Reserve Center to the stadium. At the end of the game, please gather at the West Ticket Gate for shuttle service back to your vehicle. Handicapped parking will be in the lot at the Reserve Center.
From video tributes to our veterans and a special National Anthem presentation, we will be honoring those of you who have served. At the end of half-time, the WSSU Red Sea of Sound Marching Band will play a medley of all the songs connected to the different military branches.
