I went to the Troy vs. ULM game today. My son was receiving a scholarship for the Troy for Troops foundation in the first quarter. He spent 6 years in the AF and decided to finish up his degree at Troy.
I have been thoroughly impressed with Troy and their commitment to veterans.
Tonight was appreciation night. With 3:01 left in the first, they stopped the game and awarded scholarships to several ROTC and veteran students. This took about 10 minutes. Just stopped the game! No complaining. No pushback.
Then at halftime, they invited every veteran (or rep for a fallen vet) down to the field and grouped them by branch. As the bad played each branch’s song, they walked.
This took more time than normal. Fireworks the whole time. It was a beautiful site to see. I am forever grateful for Troy and their appreciation of veterans.
Transitioning from the military back to student life was a very anxious time for him. The veteran groups with Troy really helped make that transition palatable.
So much so that he now works with the Troy for Troops veterans assistance program helping other vets understand their options.
If you know a vet wanting to continue their education, have them call Troy for Troops and get started.
