Memorial Day is just around the corner, so what could be more fitting than hearing from a former member of the Seahawks and military veteran? Nate Boyer has some very interesting things to say on heroism and patriotism, in two very different letters.
From the Green Berets to the Longhorns
Boyer didn’t exactly follow the typical career path. Let’s be upfront about this: his Seahawks career consisted of three snaps in a preseason game in 2015. He’s unlikely to make the Seahawks Ring of Honor. However, there’s a rather large caveat attached. You see, when his rookie competition on the field that day was still in the first grade, Boyer was in the Sudan building refugee camps during the War in Darfur.
