With November being the NFL’s Salute to Service month and Veterans Day on the horizon, it’s good to note the Denver Broncos are doing their part.
The Broncos nominated defensive end Malik Jackson for the NFL Salute to Service Award, which every year honors a league member who has shown exemplary interest and time into helping the military community.
Jackson was chosen due his work as a spokesman for Helping Hands with Freedom. The organization’s purpose is to help military families and children dealing with circumstances of death, injury or deployment in their family.
“We want to raise money for military families to be able to pay bills, pay for necessities—food, water, washer and dryer—things we take for granted sometimes,” Jackson said via Broncos’ press release.
