Who we are

Veterans of the Game

We are veterans serving veterans to curate military history through ongoing support for the University of Michigan’s Veteran of the Game Program. While not affiliated with the University of Michigan or the Athletic Department, our non-profit organization commemorates the veterans recognized by the University and builds on the relationships created to remember those who sacrificed and persevered while serving in the military. We strive to maintain a small part of US history through support, recognition, and celebration within the veteran community.

“A VETERAN is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a BLANK CHECK made payable to ‘The United States of America’ for an amount of ‘up to and INCLUDING their life.“ – Anonymous
“The willingness of AMERICA’S veterans to SACRIFICE for our country has earned
them our lasting GRATITUDE.“ – Jeff Miller
