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 Purdue on October 12th 2013. 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.
2013 marks the sixth 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 to include 25 wounded warriors from the Fort Riley Wounded Warrior program. This year we again invite Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines – active, reserve, guard, retired and veterans and will again host 25 Husker fans who are currently with the Fort Riley Wounded Warrior program.
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. First time registrants will have to pay only a small $25 non-refundable fee to hold their reservation.
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. Ourboard'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.
