Chiefs to honor troops on Armed Forces Day Saturday
The event will begin in the stadium parking lot at 12-noon with static displays of military vehicles and equipment including high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV's) and an MQ-9 Reaper, an aircraft which has a wing span of 66-feet by 36-feet in length. In combat, the MQ-9 Reaper is an armed multi-mission, medium-altitude, long endurance, remotely piloted aircraft. In addition, the Fort Drum rock band, "Avalanche," is slated to perform in the parking lot for a pregame concert starting at 12:30 PM.
Pre-game activities will continue inside the ballpark with on-field recognitions of several military award winners, a performance by national recording artist Chris Taylor, and flag presentations.
Chiefs players and coaches will wear special Stars & Stripes themed jerseys for the game in honor of the men and women of the Armed Forces.
