MURFREESBORO – Middle Tennessee will be hosting its 36th annual Salute to Veterans and Armed Forces game on Nov. 4 when the Blue Raiders host UTEP. Kickoff is set for 6:30 PM.

This year's honorary captains will be children from a local organization, A Soldiers Child Foundation. The mission of this organization is to serve the children of military personnel who have lost their lives on active duty, while defending the United States of America.

In honor of A Soldiers Child, the Blue Raider football team will wear a specially designed stripe down the middle of the helmet that will include the names children's military parents who have lost their lives on active duty.
