DENVER - Texas A&M will be wearing a helmet decal during Saturday's game at Colorado in honor of all the men and women who serve our country that are stationed at Fort Hood, Texas.
The logo contains patches that represent many of the divisions stationed at Fort Hood.
The logo in the center of the decal is that of the III Corps Command, which is headquartered at the base. Fort Hood is located about 94 miles northwest of Kyle Field.
Senior offensive lineman Michael Shumard and sophomore wide receiver Nick Trice both attended Harker Heights High School, just minutes from Fort Hood. In addition, many other members of the staff and team--and Aggies across the country and around the world--have friends and family that serve in the United States Armed Forces.
Saturday's game will kick off at 12:40 p.m. (CST) and will be televised nationally on FOX College Sports (DirecTV Ch 617).
