Before the 49ers and Chargers kick off their NFL preseason finale in San Diego, U.S. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Steven Powell will belt out a moving rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
On this Salute to Military night, an annual tradition in a city that boasts the striking presence of the USS Midway, the American flag will wave under a majestic blue sky. Players will stand with hand over heart in honor of this great nation, those who courageously serve to defend it against enemies foreign and domestic, and to ensure our constitutionally protected freedoms are never compromised.
