Redskins and USAA honoring World War II veterans (The Associated Press)

The Washington Redskins will look back to one of the most infamous days in U.S. history on Monday night by paying tribute to a special group of WWII veterans with the help of USAA.

The team worked with the NFL to move its ''Salute to Service'' game (normally hosted during November) to Dec. 7, the date Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese forces, prompting this nation's entry into the war.

During the weekend, USAA, the Official Military Appreciation Sponsor of the NFL, will host veterans from various regions of the United States on visits to District of Columbia memorials built in their honor: Arlington National Cemetery and the National World War II Memorial.
