All former and active military members can receive up to two free tickets to tomorrow’s Hawks game, the team announced Tuesday.

The Hawks are scheduled to host the Pelicans at 8 p.m. at Philips Arena. Military members can show their military identification at the arena box office for the tickets. The box office will open at 5 p.m. today and beginning at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow.

In addition to the offer, all five branches of the military will be honored throughout the game, including a pregame ceremony with troops stationed at Fort Benning. Also, 92.9 FM radio host Mark Zinno, a three-time deployed veteran, will assist in player introductions that will feature a current Hawks and Philips Arena employee who served in the military along with each starter.
