With Veteran’s Day occurring this past week, the Patriots found a way to honor those who have fallen in service of their country.
In their game Sunday night against the Ravens, each New England player wore decals on his helmet with the initials of someone who was killed in service.
“It’s important because it’s our way of showing thanks to all the men and women that go out there and risk their lives for our freedom, for our country,” Patriots safety Devin McCourty said in a video talking about their “Salute to Service Game.”
For long snapper Joe Cardona, this is special because he is also a Naval Lieutenant.
