It was the latest barrage in a drill that the previous day saw two American bases temporarily go on alert over the launches. Drone footage captured by the Guard showed two missiles blast- ing out from covered positions in what appeared to be a desert pla- teau in central Iran, with debris flying up in the air in their wake. The launches took place on Wednesday, said Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the Guard’s aerospace division. He told state television it was the first time the Guard had done this, though the paramilitary force is known to have vast underground bases hid- ing its ballistic missile arsenal.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11/4/19 NFL Announces Nominees for Salute to Service Award Presented by USAA The NFL and USAA, an Official NFL Salute to Service Partner, have announced the 32 nominees for the ninth annual Salute to Service Award presented by USAA. The Salute to Service Award annually recognizes NFL players, coaches, personnel and Legends who demonstrate an exemplary commitment to honoring and supporting the military community, as nominated by NFL clubs. Finalists will be announced in January, and the recipient will be recognized at NFL Honors, a two-hour primetime awards special to air nationally on Feb. 1, 2019 the night before Super Bowl LIV. “The 2019 ‘Salute to Service Award presented by USAA’ nominees truly deserve this moment of recognition for their strong commitment to honor and recognize our military members, veterans, and their families,” said Vice Admiral (Ret.) JOHN BIRD, USAA Senior Vice President of Military Affairs. “From visiting service members on base at home and abroad, volunteering with veterans service organizations, and helping with veteran hiring programs, this year’s nominees are true examples of how players, coaches, and fans can, through meaningful action, show their deep appreciation for the military community.” Current San Francisco 49er and former Atlanta Falcons guard BEN GARLAND was last year's award recipient. Garland will serve on the award panel and vote to select the 2019 Salute to Service Award recipient. As the presenting sponsor of the Salute to Service Award, USAA, a leading provider of insurance and other services to U.S. military members, veterans and their families, will contribute $25,000 in the recipient’s name to the official aid societies representing all five military branches.
