Every Saturday in the Big House is special, but Michigan’s home game against Air Force on Saturday was a little more meaningful.

The Wolverines hosted Military Appreciation Day in Ann Arbor, honoring members of the Armed Forces all throughout the day. Several military men and women were in attendance to watch Michigan take on the Falcons and there were some special tributes throughout the afternoon.

One of the really special moments was when Air Force paratroopers parachuted into Michigan Stadium prior to kickoff. It was a moment that was meant with roaring applause.

The video below shows some of the top moments of Military Appreciation day at Michigan prior to kickoff.
