App State hosted its annual Heroes Day Game this weekend (November 7th), which honored Service Members, Veterans, Student Veterans, ROTC Cadets and ROTC Alumni. As in recent years, the Military Affairs Committee's Tailgate in the Alumni Center was well attended, festive, and a great way for Alumni to reconnect and meet current Cadets.
Ed Small (a Tier 1 supporter of the University and Military Community) conducted the Coin Toss, joined by Honorary Team Captains, which included Major General (Retired) Ed Reeder (84) and Lieutenant General (Retired) John Evans (88). Both General Reeder and Evans are App State ROTC Alumni, long-serving combat-decorated Special Operations Officers, and inductees into the Army ROTC Hall of Fame. During the game, App ROTC Alumni from the Class of 86 were recognized, as well as the App ROTC current Ranger Challenge Team and Cadet Aiden Lynch, who excelled in last year’s National Drill and Ceremony Competition.
App ROTC thrives due to the support of the Community and the University
