“They allow us to host the last game at home to do this ‘Salute to Service’ game where we recognize local veterans who have impacted student athletes in one way, shape or form,” Glen Lake fifth and sixth grade coach Luke Moeggenberg said. “The whole goal behind it is to create a connection between our sport and the freedoms that we’ve been given through the sacrifices that our veterans and current active service men and women have given us. It’s a nice way to get the kids involved in what our freedoms are and bring the whole community together.”
