“Husker Fans Salute to the Troops” is an annual weekend celebration recognizing military men and women for their unselfish sacrifice for our great country. The weekend honors United States Military members from any branch of service who have served or who are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces.  


Troopers and their families are given an all-access private tour of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s football practice facilities and Memorial Stadium, where they participate in a special Tunnel Walk ceremony.  Events also include a Husker Football Watch Party and a Sunday morning brunch that includes a special Color Guard ceremony during which the service men and women are honored. 

Registration

Registration is limited to members of all branches of the United States Military, active or retired.

The "Salute" organization will provide dinner Saturday, brunch on Sunday, and a hotel room for Saturday night.  Transportation to and from the stadium tour will be provided for the troopers and their families.  Registrants will have to pay only a small $20 non-refundable fee to hold their reservation.

Select the Soldier Sign Up tab above to complete registration.



Donations

The “Salute” weekend provides military members a unique opportunity to spend a dream weekend around something they love.  Our goal is to provide this weekend for the military families at no cost to them except a nominal registration fee.    

Will you please help us honor the service of fellow Nebraska fans by providing funds or by donating goods and services?  Any donation level is appreciated and helps our efforts.  Husker Fans Salute to the Troops is sponsored by Northeast Kansans for Nebraska and is a tax-exempt organization.
