Honoring American Hero & Houston Alum Sam Hairston

University of Houston Football letterman and Sgt. 1st Class Sam Hairston was killed in August, 2014 in Ghazni, Afghanistan, when his unit took small-arms fire from the enemy.

When the Houston Football team runs on to John O’Quinn Field Thursday night, there will be a fifth flag carried by the Cougars as a white flag with a large red 34 will emerge from the home tunnel of TDECU Stadium, a flag that represents much more than a football game.
