In honor of Veterans' Day, the Packers are having the National Anthem performed by Army Sergeant First Class Jamie Buckley. The Anthem will be accompanied by a Marine helicopter flyover. At halftime, a group of approximately 75 Oneida Nation Veterans will be recognized on-field and approximately 100 new Army enlistees will take their oath. A large American flag then will be unfurled and Buckley will return to the field to sing "American Soldier." The halftime festivities will conclude with a short performance by the Army Drill Team.
The Packers also will have their regular game day program, "Operation Fan Mail," which salutes a military member and his or her family during the pregame.
