Prior to Slippery Rock University's Oct. 8 "Military Appreciation" football game versus Mercyhurst, the SRU ROTC cadets hosted a display of military equipment in the Mihalik-Thompson Stadium parking lot. Included in the event were an IAV (Interim Armored Vehicle) Stryker, which is an eight-wheeled, armored fighting vehicle and a rock-climbing wall. Many in attendance, including SRU President Cheryl Norton, toured the vehicle and scaled the wall while visiting with cadets and veterans. In addition, ROTC and VA Butler Healthcare distributed a variety of goodies to those in attendance. Photos by Benton Palermo, communication major from Beaver.
