RE: UH Wearing New Red US Flag Helmets For “Heroes Night” vs. UCF

Quote:HOUSTON – In honor of the passing of Houston Football letterman and Sgt. 1st Class Sam Hairston, Thursday’s game vs. UCF has been named the Salute to Service Sam Hairston Heroes Game. Fans are encouraged to arrive early for special promotional giveaways and to help honor Hairston and those who continue to serve our country.
Houston meets UCF in a nationally-televised game, presented by Data Foundry, on ESPN Thursday at 6 p.m. inside TDECU Stadium. Gates open at 4:30 p.m.
Hairston’s service and commitment to our country will be recognized throughout Thursday’s game, beginning with a pregame recognition during the Spirit of Houston’s performance at the 20-minute mark. Hairston’s wife, Tawanna, and stepson, Hayden, will serve as honorary captains with the Houston Football program Thursday.
A special presentation, honoring Hairston’s family will follow during the second timeout of the first quarter. Fireworks will then light up TDECU Stadium during halftime and Houston Athletics and the Spirit of Houston will continue to pay tribute to the service men and women of our country with a medley of Armed Forces Service songs and an oversized American flag that will cover John O’Quinn Field.
