The Air Force Academy will hold a moment of silence in honor of the shooting victims at Fort Hood before Saturday’s Army-Air Force football game.
Academy spokesman Troy Garnhart says the observance will also honor soldiers from nearby Fort Carson who’ve been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Saturday’s game is at the academy’s Falcon Stadium.
Fort Carson spokeswoman Brandy Gill says a pep rally for the Army football team is still planned Friday night at the post. It’s not yet clear how the Fort Hood tragedy will be recognized.
The dean of West Point’s Academic Board and the deputy commander of Fort Carson’s 4th Infantry Division are expected to speak at the rally.
