November 12, 2009 | General
WEST POINT, N.Y. – ESPN has honored the U.S. Armed Forces with a week of programming and the network makes its final stop at West Point on Veterans Day. Celebrating “America’s Heroes: A Salute to Our Veterans," which included featuring ESPN College Gameday at the Army-Air Force game last Saturday, the week-long tribute will culminate in special SportsCenter editions live from West Point on Wednesday, Nov. 11. Daytime SportsCenter co-hosts Hannah Storm and Josh Elliott will report from the U.S. Military Academy tomorrow, hourly from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., and again from 6 to 7 p.m.
“The opportunity to visit West Point on such an important day is a career highlight,” Elliott said. “The men and women we hope to meet are cut from a very special cloth, willing to offer their lives for ours, and our freedom. In the sports world, we borrow the word ‘hero’ and so often lessen its meaning. Time to bring it back to where it belongs.”
In addition to Veterans Day festivities, segments on former Army head basketball coaches Bob Knight and Mike Krzyzewski, a West Point graduate who played point guard for Knight; and Bill Parcells, who once served as an assistant football coach at West Point are expected to be highlighted.
West Point activities planned as part of the broadcast include performances by the Cadet Drill team, sport parachute team, men’s and women’s rugby teams and a variety of cadet spirit groups.
A cadet choir will open the 9 a.m. SportsCenter by singing the National Anthem.
