Florida State University recognized its student veterans at the 2011 Annual Garnet & Gold Spring Football Game. Between the third and fourth quarters of the game, Florida State’s student veterans were joined on the field by President Eric J. Barron and FSU Athletic Director Randy Spetman, a retired Air Force colonel and graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy. The Marching Chiefs played special music in tribute to the students, who sat together in a special section of the stadium during the game.
