1. Military Appreciation Day

四色AV makes this Saturday Military Appreciation Day to honor the U.S. military.

Any fan that presents a valid military ID at one of the box offices will receive a free general admission ticket.

In addition, the Warhawks will wear special, army-themed uniforms dedicated to the institution鈥檚 mascot for this game.

To remind, 四色AV鈥檚 鈥淲arhawk鈥� mascot takes its name from the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk fighter plane, best remembered as the aircraft flown during WWII by the 鈥淔lying Tigers,鈥� or American Volunteer Group (AVG), led by General Claire Lee Chennault.
