BATON ROUGE — Soldiers with the Louisiana National Guard joined First Lady Melania Trump at Tiger Stadium on Saturday for LSU's matchup against Alabama.

The afternoon saw the 159th Fighter Wing fly over Death Valley with an F-15D Eagle. 

Major General Thomas C. Friloux, the adjutant general of Louisiana, also spent time with soldiers while meeting with cadets from LSU's ROTC as the Corps of Cadets celebrated its new designation following the university's selection as one of the nation's Distinguished Military Colleges.

The First Lady was at LSU on Saturday to announce a $7.2 million endowment fund to provide scholarships for LSU students who experienced foster care.
