THE APEX TIMES
Packers and Vikings meet at Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon in an NFL Salute to Service presented by Fleet Farm, with special tributes for military members and veterans and a full gameday schedule built around the recognition.
Lambeau Field will host the Packers vs. Vikings Salute to Service game Sunday, a matchup the Packers’ public information release frames as a tribute to members of the military and veterans. The game is scheduled for noon kickoff.
The Packers describe a series of on-field and in-stadium acknowledgements, including Salute to Service-themed equipment for players, goal post wraps and pylon decals, and in-game video features that include recognition for those serving and shoutouts to veterans.
Prior to the national anthem, the team says seven TAPS families will be honored during pregame activities, with those families helping hold the American flag during the anthem. Fans are also directed to the Lambeau Field Atrium to view photos and stories of fallen service members from the TAPS families recognized earlier in the week.
The release adds additional tributes connected to specific veteran recognition and ceremony elements: the Packers will recognize U.S. Marine Corps veteran Brad Selman through Operation Fan Mail presented by Network Health on the field, double amputee and Purple Heart veteran JP Lane will perform the national anthem, and a four-aircraft F-15E flyover is planned. At halftime, the Packers say more than 100 enlistees will take the Oath of Enlistment during a special enlistment ceremony.
Beyond the tributes, the Packers’ release outlines operational gameday reminders at Lambeau Field, including cashless concessions and points of sale, early stadium and parking lot opening times, bag restrictions, and the use of walk-through metal detectors at gates.
