He’s starting for Niners tomorrow, so expect there to be boos and a good bit of “chatter” when he walks on the field. This is the 28th Annual Military Appreciation Night, with hundreds of active duty in the stands for a pregame celebration and postgame fireworks. Don’t want him to detract in any way from honoring our service members (I’m a 24-year retired Navy vet myself). He can come out after the pregame, including after the playing & singing of the National Anthem.

Thank you for your service, hubby is 20 yr Navy Ret. SCPO. We still have family members in Military service, have had since WW2, Korea, Vietnam, and now Afghanistan. Hubby was Vietnam Era Veteran, part of Frequent Wind, as the USS Midway never put her men ashore, they are not classified as Vietnam Veterans, just Era Veterans. But he did go ashore during the Cuban Missile Crisis when they were posting guards. He worked the Flight Deck. MOS Electronics.
