University of Arizona Athletics

We at the Arizona Athletics department are constantly receiving updates from Wildcats around the world. Closest to our hearts are the service men and women who carry their Wildcat pride with them wherever service to their country takes them.

To celebrate Veterans Day on Friday, November 11, we are proud to offer these photos of our troops displaying their red and blue.

We will continue to maintain and add to this page as a tribute to our brave men and women. If you have a Wildcat spirit armed forces photo, story or message you'd like to contribute, please send it to seanfitz@arizona.edu.

Select photos will be shown on the Catvision video board at the Saturday, November 12, football game against Washington as part of Arizona Athletics' Veterans Day tribute.
