Chiefs Hold Salute to Service Game, Surprise Soldier with Thank You of a Lifetime

For the Kansas City Chiefs organization, Sunday’s Salute to Service game was not only a way to provide a lifelong memory for some of the Midwest’s military men and women.

It was also a way to say thank you for the freedoms this country holds dear, including that of a hometown football game.

In an effort to give back to those who have risked their lives for the country and Chiefs fans everywhere, the organization partnered up with Cars 4 Heroes founder Terri Franz to surprise one soldier with an early Christmas present.

In the third quarter, Specialist Jayson Morton, a 1st Infantry Division Soldier, along with his wife and two sons, were surprised with a Ford Fusion provided by Cars 4 Heroes and the Car Santa.
