NFL and all its teams honored memory of military service members on Veterans Day without any fumbles
All 32 NFL teams published a public tribute to military service members on Veterans Day, which the article describes as a successful league-wide recognition. The observance is part of the NFL’s broader Salute to Service programme, linking the day’s tributes to year-round support for service members, veterans and military families.
The league’s annual initiative began before Week 9 games and was set to continue through Week 11, with game-day tributes, community events and charitable work. Since 2011, it has raised more than $80 million for military charities, and the NFL works with organisations including the USO, the Pat Tillman Foundation and Wounded Warrior Project.
