The Baltimore Ravens players reported to the team facility on Monday expecting to suit up for another practice.
Instead, the Ravens were treated to Washington, D.C.
Coach John Harbaugh surprised his team by taking the players on a tour of the Pentagon, the laying of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and a visit to John F. Kennedy's gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery.
Retired four-star General Ray Odierno, the former head of the Joint Forces Command and Chief of Staff of the Army, helped coordinate the day for the Ravens.
After the Ravens' tour of the Pentagon, wide receiver Keenan Reynolds, a Naval Academy graduate and safety Otha Foster, who served three years with the Marines, participated in a ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
