Memorial Day is an occasion to honor those U.S. servicemen and servicewomen who gave their lives serving their country. The Seahawks have a long history with the U.S. military, including some players.
Being a veteran myself, I don’t like the typical conflation of Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Veterans Day honors those who sacrificed their time. Memorial Day honors an entirely different level of sacrifice. Regardless, it’s a great day to highlight connections between the Seahawks and the military.
Let’s start with two gentlemen who served their country, and played with the Seahawks, even if briefly. The first played more than a decade ago.
