At each New York Islanders home game this season the Islanders will honor and host an active military member or veteran as part of the Military Hero of the Game. Each military hero receives four (4) VIP tickets to the game and a special in-game recognition. In the event games are played without fans, heroes will be honored virtually and/or via Islanders social media.
Ford, the New York Islanders, and the Islanders Children's Foundation are proud to honor service members, veterans, and their families.
We have received nominations of veterans in the community deserving of the Built Ford Tough Military Tribute. At the end of the regular season, one lucky veteran will receive a brand-new Ford Truck.
The Islanders have hosted three military baby showers, partnering with Operation Shower, as well as Ryan, LLC, to give gifts to expecting military families.
