Four of the last five winners of the NFL’s Salute to Service Award have been connected to the Atlanta Falcons. The most recent is Steve Cannon, the CEO of AMB Sports & Entertainment, Arthur Blank’s holding group for the Falcons, Atlanta United, and his other for-profit endeavors.
Cannon, a veteran and a graduate of West Point, has been instrumental in the team’s commitment to our active duty, our veterans, and their families.
“I went to Arthur Blank very early in my tenure, when I joined five years ago, and essentially said to Arthur, ‘Hey, you know, Georgia is the home of Fort Benning and Fort Stewart, Fort Gordon, we’ve probably got a higher concentration of military and their families than almost any other state in the country,’ Cannon told The Falcoholic during the week leading up to Super Bowl LV.
