Memorial Day is more than a three-day weekend. And Urban Meyer is making sure that his players know why.
"But the No. 1 thing, write this down, is this is about honoring the men and women who serve this country. I should have done something like this long before today."
With Memorial Day upon us, we want to take a moment to thank our veterans for their service, and remember our fallen soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.
Urban Meyer has taken this lesson very seriously this year, and has expanded his off-field "Real Life Wednesday" project to include a week-long series of lessons dubbed "Patriot Week," to teach his players about the importance of their freedom and those fighting for it.
