Maine West to honor veterans at football game
Maine West High School will be honoring United States veterans at its home football game on Friday, Sept. 20. Veterans will receive free admission to the game and be recognized by players and fans before the game for their service.
Veterans will also receive a complimentary hot dog or burger, chips, and a drink courtesy of the Maine West Athletic Boosters.
Maine West asks that any veterans looking to participate arrive at 6:15 p.m., enter through the North Gate, and meet at the north end of the field.
Maine West has done this for the past several years as a way to honor veterans living in and around Des Plaines.
