BRISTOL, Conn — ESPN will be at two military academies as part of a five-day on-air tribute to veterans, a segment the network calls “America’s Heroes.”

Mark Gross, the Troy native who is ESPN’s senior vice president and general manager of studio production, said the series will begin Saturday, Nov. 7, when the network’s “College GameDay” crew will be on the campus of the Air Force Academy for the Cadets’ game against Army.
