Oct. 17, 2007

ATLANTA – Georgia Tech has donated 250 tickets to the USO for Saturday’s Homecoming game against Army at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

The USO will use 100 of those tickets for Wounded Warriors from the various military hospitals in Georgia. The remainder of the tickets will go to soldiers from Fort Benning, Fort McPherson and Fort Gillem.

“It is a tremendous honor to host the United States Military Academy to our campus for the football game on Saturday,” said Georgia Tech Associate Athletic Director for Public Relations Wayne Hogan. “We have been in communication with many of our area military bases encouraging involvement.

“In addition, we are proud to work with the USO to say thanks to these brave men and women who have given so much to insure our freedom and safety.”

Georgia Tech hosts Army Saturday at 12 noon.
