The Monday night game between the Redskins and Cowboys has been designated a Salute To Service game. Twelve WW2 veterans have taken an honor flight to spend the weekend in Washington D.C. prior to being honored at the game. Honor flights bring military veterans from all across the country to visit memorials in Washington D.C. erected in their honor. Veterans from as far away as Texas will be visiting the WW2 memorial and the Arlington National Cemetery. The veterans are being hosted by USAA, the Official Military Appreciation Sponsor of the NFL.
Seventy four years ago, on December 7th, the Redskins played the Eagles in their season finale.
