## Caption

“This gift is about honoring my father, a true patriot, and every brave soul who has worn or will wear the uniform to defend our country… a place where their sacrifices will never be forgotten.” — Larry Gies (’88 BUS)⁣
⁣
With the renaming of Memorial Stadium to Gies Memorial Stadium, we don’t rewrite history —⁣ We carry it forward.⁣
⁣
A tribute to the past.⁣
A commitment to the future.⁣
Still standing for those who served.⁣
