Veterans day has a special meaning for this country. Everyone I know has someone in their family or friends circle who has served this country.
For Missouri Football they’re taking the opportunity to honor the 117 men who gave their life in World War I by representing their names in lieu of the players names on the back of the jersey. Here’s Ben Arnett with a nice tribute video:

A close look at the uniform from the last tweet:

The game is important, Missouri needs to continue their hot play and pick up a win at home against Vanderbilt. But at least they’ll look good while honoring the men and women have served in the military, specifically those in the 117.
