Tom Coughlin almost certainly will talk to the team Wednesday about Veterans Day and there probably will be several active service members or Wounded Warriors on hand at practice. And that's why he is the team's nominee for the "Salute to Service Award" which will be presented by USAA at the end of the season.
The award, presented annually by USAA and the NFL, honors a league member who demonstrates an exemplary commitment to honoring and supporting the military community. USAA is the Official Military Appreciation Sponsor of the NFL.
Coughlin was nominated by the Giants because of his long-time military appreciation efforts.
