This actual announcement is a few days old, but being a day to honor our country's veterans, it is definitely timely. Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald was named the team's nominee for the "Salute to Service Award presented by USAA." The award, presented annual by USAA and the NFL, honors a league member who demonstrates an exemplary commitment to honoring and supporting the military community. USAA is the Official Military Appreciation Sponsor of the NFL.
The nomination was announced last week. Each team has one nominee and finalists are named in January. The winner will be recognized at the "5th Annual NFL Honors" awards show in San Francisco on CBS on Saturday, Feb.
