This past Saturday, October 1, at the Arkansas/Texas A&M Southwest Classic football game, Tillman Military Scholars Chris Grisham (Arkansas) and Frank Cisneros (Texas A&M) were honored on the field at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, receiving a standing ovation from both Aggie and Razorback fans.
Chris and Frank were joined on the field during the second quarter by University of Arkansas Chancellor G. David Gearhart, Texas A&M University President Dr. R. Bowen Loftin and Pat Tillman Foundation Director of Programs Hunter I Riley. As the largest jumbotron in the world flashed a view of Scott Medlock’s “Tribute to Pat Tillman” and the Foundation logo, the 65,000 plus audience united in an standing ovation.
