Nfl Honors Veterans, Active Duty Service Members and Families with Salute to Service FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11/2/17 NFL HONORS VETERANS, ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBERS AND FAMILIES WITH SALUTE TO SERVICE Each year, the NFL and its 32 teams come together to honor and support members of the military as part of the NFL’s Salute to Service. The league’s year-round military appreciation efforts culminate in November with NFL Salute to Service games and other special events honoring veterans, active duty service members and their families. The NFL works with its core military nonprofit partners to show gratitude for all those who have served our country. The NFL, along with its partners, is proud to support the Pat Tillman Foundation, TAPS, USO and Wounded Warrior Project, to fund programs and provide resources that positively impact veterans and active duty military members and their families. Since 2011, more than $17 million has been raised through Salute to Service to support the league’s military nonprofit partners. New this year, for every use of #SalutetoService on Twitter, the NFL will donate $5 to its military nonprofit partners, up to a total of $5 million. New Salute to Service PSAs will debut this week in social media and during the Bills-Jets Thursday Night Football game, available exclusively on NFL Network. The spot features Seattle Seahawks WR DOUG BALDWIN, Philadelphia Eagles S MALCOLM JENKINS, Philadelphia Eagles DE CHRIS LONG and Tennessee Titans TE DELANIE WALKER discussing their personal ties to the military and expressing gratitude for our nation’s service members. Visit NFL.com/Salute to learn more. Below are examples of how the NFL works with partners to use donations: Pat Tillman Foundation The NFL partners with the Pat Tillman Foundation to honor leaders who exemplify Pat’s enduring legacy of service. The NFL’s contributions support the Tillman Scholar program, which provides active-duty service members, veterans and military spouses with academic scholarships, a national network and professional development opportunities, so they are empowered to make an impact. With the NFL’s support, more than 500 Tillman Scholars are now pursuing careers in medicine, business, law, science, education and the arts. The NFL’s contributions also support the annual Tillman Honors and Pat Tillman Leadership Summit, which convene the Tillman Scholars to network, collaborate and present solutions to challenges facing the country through keynotes, panels and workshops with industry, non-profit and community leaders. TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) The NFL partners with TAPS to support the families of the fallen and military mentors. NFL funding supported the creation and implementation of a team4taps program at this year’s Pro Bowl and will again in 2018. In 2017, the NFL will fund a TAPS International Program to support the reconciliation of US military survivors with survivors abroad, as well as youth mentorship and counseling programs including Good Grief Camps. United Service Organizations (USO) The NFL’s tradition of supporting America’s armed services includes a more than 50-year partnership with the USO. In September 2016, the NFL announced a new $5 million commitment to the military nonprofit to aid new projects that provide services and programs at more than 200 USO locations worldwide. Through the lens of football, the NFL and USO strive to keep our service members connected to the things they hold dear: family, home and country. Many programs including Flag Football and USO2GO deliveries are a part of this enhanced partnership. Wounded Warrior Project The NFL partners with Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) to connect wounded veterans with free programs and resources that empower them to live their lives to the fullest, on their own terms. This support has enabled WWP to fund the expansion of combat stress recovery programs. These critical mental health programs aid veterans dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the transition and recovery process. Additionally, with the NFL’s support, Wounded Warrior Project has hosted numerous Physical Health and Wellness expos across the country for wounded veterans and their family members. Last week, the NFL announced its expanded work with Tuesday’s Children, the leading nonprofit providing long-term support to communities and people impacted by terrorism and traumatic loss, by awarding a $200,000 grant to launch a youth mentoring program for children who lost a parent serving in the military. The NFL first worked with Tuesday’s Children following the tragic events of 9/11 by providing grants to aid thousands of first responder families. The NFL also announced a new grant to After the Impact Fund (ATIF), in light of ATIF’s work with former service members who continue to suffer from traumatic injuries. ATIF provides a clear path to healing for these individuals and their families. The NFL’s grant to ATIF will specifically support military veterans’ treatment with one of ATIF’s vetted medical partners; ATIF’s Life Care Program which includes assessments and follow up plans; and ATIF’s Family Impact Group Program which provides extensive resources and education on a private forum specifically created for family members. The NFL Foundation, the NFL’s nonprofit organization representing the 32 clubs, provides grant funding opportunities to each club to encourage broadened partnerships and programmatic support with local nonprofit organizations in their markets that support service members. Through the Salute to Service Team Program Grant, the NFL Foundation funding gives clubs additional resources to expand military appreciation events, programs and outreach in their home markets. In addition, the NFL and USAA, the NFL’s Official Military Appreciation Sponsor, are continuing their annual Salute to Service Award, which recognizes NFL players, alumni, coaches, owners, and front office staff who demonstrate an exemplary commitment to honoring and supporting the military community. Atlanta Falcons head coach DAN QUINN received the award last year. Quinn will serve on the award panel and vote to select the 2017 Salute to Service Award recipient. The nominees for the 7th annual Salute to Service Award will be announced tomorrow. The finalists will be announced in January, and the winner will be recognized at NFL Honors in Minneapolis on NBC on Saturday, Feb. 3, the night before Super Bowl LII. Since 2011, USAA has used its sponsorship to honor and appreciate military, veterans and their families by fostering a closer understanding between military and the NFL. Among numerous events this season, USAA hosted “NFL Boot Camps” with multiple teams where military members competed in drills similar to those used at the NFL Combine. Fans can join the NFL and USAA in honoring the military community by visiting NFL.com/Salute and see military appreciation highlights from across the league. Throughout November, teams will designate one home game as their Salute to Service game. Beginning this Sunday and continuing throughout the month, NFL Salute to Service games will feature: • Players wearing helmet decals honoring military branches including Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and National Guard, as well as the NFL Salute to Service ribbon; • Salute to Service ribbon footballs; • Salute to Service Nike, Adidas and Under Armour gloves; • Camouflage goal post wraps and pylons with camouflage ribbon decals; • Wall banners and the words NFL Salute to Service written in the back of the end zone; • Camouflage equipment for players including quarterback towels, captain’s patches, camouflage Gatorade towels, New Era caps and knits; and Nike apparel products; • New Era camouflage hats for coaches and sideline personnel; • Camouflage metal lapel pins for coaches and team executives; • Salute to Service coins for the coin toss. Game-worn Salute to Service merchandise and footballs will be auctioned at NFL.com/Auction. Special camouflage merchandise will be available at NFLShop.com and in select stadium retail stores. The NFL does not profit from the sale of Salute to Service products. All charitable contributions are donated to the NFL’s military nonprofit partners including the Pat Tillman Foundation, TAPS, USO and Wounded Warrior Project. In the support of Salute to Service, Barclaycard is donating a percentage of all NFL Extra Point card purchases, up to $25,000, to the Pat Tillman Foundation throughout the month of November. The NFL continues to offer its NFL Game Pass service free of charge at USO Centers for military members stationed in Afghanistan, Australia, Germany, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Africa and Kuwait. At the USO facility in each of these locations, service members can watch any NFL game live and online in its entirety. NFL Game Pass also is offered free of charge at US Embassies. Learn more about the NFL’s military appreciation work and ongoing commitment to honoring and supporting veterans, service members and their families by visiting NFL.com/Salute. Below is a snapshot of how teams will honor the military throughout November: Team 2017 Salute to Service (STS) Activities Arizona Cardinals The Arizona Cardinals will host a concert for over 3,000 attendees by KRISTIN CHENOWETH at Luke Air Force Base for Air Force families.

Understanding the history of military service by immigrants, as well as the legal barriers to the enlistment of skilled foreign-born residents, leads us to clear policy recommendations for President Trump and Congress to consider. Today, approximately 40,000 immigrants serve in the armed forces, and approximately 5,000 noncitizens enlist each year. As of 2016, about 511,000 veterans were foreign-born. Throughout U.S. history, many immigrants have served with distinction and are among those who have received the highest military honors. More than 20 percent of Medal of Honor recipients are immigrants. Going forward, the net growth in the U.S. population of 18- to 29-year-olds — the segment of the population most likely to enlist — will come entirely from immigrants and the children of immigrants. With the economy having recovered from the recession of the late 2000s, for the military to recruit young people successfully, each military branch must have access to the largest potential pool of qualified candidates.

  • Clinton Romesha Red Platoon Pdf
    Clinton romesha red platoon pdf Continue NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The only comprehensive, first-hand account of the fourteen-hour shootout at the Battle of Keating Medal of Honor recipient Clinton Romesh, for Black Hawk Down readers Mark Bowden and Lonely Survivor Marcus Luttrell. It's no better. For us, this phrase nailed down one of the basic truths, perhaps even an important truth, about being stuck at an outpost whose strategic and tactical vulnerabilities were so evident to every soldier who ever set foot in this place, that the very name - Keating - became a kind of backhand joke. In 2009, Clinton Romesh of the Red Platoon and the rest of the Black Knight Squad were preparing to close Keating's command post, the most remote and inaccessible in a string of bases built by the U.S. military in Nuristan and Kunar in hopes of preventing the Taliban from moving freely between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three years after its construction, the army was finally ready to admit what the people on earth knew at once: it was simply too isolated and too dangerous to defend. On October 3, 2009, after years of constant small attacks, the Taliban finally decided to abandon everything they had in Keating. The ensuing fourteen-hour battle - and ultimately victory - cost eight men their lives. The Red Platoon is a thrilling first-hand account of the Battle of Keating, said Romesh, who led both the outpost's defense and counterattacks that drove the Taliban back behind the wire and received the Medal of Honor for their actions.
