A Special Tribute
̾Ƶsenior kinesiology major Logan Locke of Starkville, a member of MSU’s Army ROTC program, models the special Adidas “Statesman” uniform that the ̾Ƶfootball team will wear for its Nov. 17 game against the University of Arkansas. The uniforms pay tribute to ̾Ƶalumnus, World War II Veteran and former U.S. Rep. G.V. “Sonny” Montgomery. Unveiled during a press conference Monday [Oct. 29] at the Montgomery Center for America’s Veterans at Nusz Hall, the uniforms are inspired by the Mississippi Air National Guard C-17 Globemaster III plane named “The Spirit of G.V. ‘Sonny’ Montgomery.” Montgomery served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1967-1997 and was author of the Montgomery G.I. Bill.
