HATS OFF TO HEROES
This Sunday at the Renegades game, we will honor some very special guests for their incredible service and contributions. Among them is Command Master Chief Britt Slabinski, a Navy SEAL retired and recipient of the National Medal of Honor. Command Master Chief Slabinski will be recognized for his extraordinary acts of gallantry during the Battle of Takur Ghar in Afghanistan, where he risked his life to save his teammates under intense enemy fire. His heroic actions exemplify the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service, and we are deeply grateful for his sacrifice and leadership.
Additionally, we will also recognize Vince Vargas, who is known for his work with the nonprofit organization TMRW Battalion, and John Wayne Walding, who has made remarkable contributions to his community. Both will be highlighted during the game, with Vince Vargas sharing more about his organization and John Wayne Walding being honored alongside his family.
We are also thrilled to welcome the 1st Cavalry Division Band from Fort Cavazos, Texas, who will perform during halftime and post-game, adding to the special atmosphere of the event.
