On Saturday, at the football game, the Pride of Mississippi did a tribute for veterans at halftime.  Veterans Day is coming up and Southern Miss showed their appreciation.

“For the halftime show, we allowed the military to come on the field,” said Shayla Price, Athletic Marketing Team Intern. “First it was the army, and then we led the Navy and then the Marines. We presented recognition to all of them.”

Afterwards, many people went up to them and showed their respect, thanking them for serving our country. Also, the Veterans were giving them advice, and so on.  

“Everybody went on about their day and congratulated them”, said Shayla Price.  

“Overall, it was a saturated day, but the vets felt loved, and were happy that the University of Southern Mississippi recognized them and their works.”
