They've done it for five years, but Friday night's salute to veterans by the Milwaukee Admirals at the Bradley Center takes on renewed poignancy in light of the Fort Hood shootings.

      What happened yesterday won't be lost on those who attend--veteran and civilian alike.

       And now comes tonight's salute to veterans and active military personel.

       Here are the details.
