Our Mission
Our mission is to salute Nebraska Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines: active duty, national guard, reserve, retired and veterans, to say “Thank you for your service to our Nation” so they know the Husker Nation will never forget their sacrifice and dedication.
This is an unprecedented event in the history of military support to the Armed Forces. This weekend hosts troops and their families from all services, of all ranks, to come together and cheer on their team as they play Minnesota on October 17th 2015. This weekend is more than just a watch party, though. It is a chance for these servicemen and women to be treated like the heroes they are with an all access, private tour of Memorial Stadium and a brunch in their honor.
2015 marks the seventh year for this event. 2008 was held during the OU game and attended by about 70 troopers and their families. 2009 was held during the Virginia Tech game and was attended by over 90 troopers and their families. 2010 was held during the Washington game and attended by over 125 troopers and their families that included 25 wounded warriors and their families from Ft Riley KS.
Registration
Registration will open on April 1 2015 for new registrants and September 1 2015 for repeat registrants.
Registration is limited to members of all branches of the United States Military, active or retired.
The "Salute" organization will provide: On Saturday a private tour in Memorial Stadium where transportation will be provided to and from Memorial Stadium. A watch party for when Nebraska takes on Minnesota, complete with food, drinks, door prizes and special activities for the kids. A free night stay at the Cornhusker Hotel that night. Sunday a brunch to honor our military men and women with a special guest speaker. First time registrants will have to pay only a small $25 non-refundable registration fee to hold their reservation and repeat registrants will have to pay a $50 non-refundable registration fee.
Donations
We cannot do this without the support of Husker fans everywhere. The “Salute” weekend provides military members a unique opportunity to spend a dream weekend around something they love. Our board's 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 Salute is a non-profit organization that is staffed by all volunteers. All donations are tax-exempt through Husker Salute under the 501c3 tax code. Please contact us if you have any questions.
