UTEP is asking fans to donate their tickets or $10 toward the price of a ticket so that members of the military have a chance to see the Miners in action and then a fireworks display after the game.

Former UTEP letter-winner Mark McDonald is among those who have already chosen to donate.

“I don’t see how I can possibly begin to thank our servicemen and women for everything that they do for us,” McDonald said. “Maybe, just maybe, this is a little token of appreciation. I’d like to thank them for everything that they do for us civilians. They could do my job, but I couldn’t do their job.”

Saturday’s festivities will also include an enlistment ceremony and static displays around the stadium in honor of our military.
