Veterans Day honors those who have served in the United States' armed forces—men and women who risk their lives to protect our way of life and often endure meaningful hardships once they return to civilian life. America’s military veterans deserve so much more than a single day of tribute,but businesses and organizations around the country compose the most of the opportunity by coordinating countless Veterans Day events and activities.
The NFL and other major sports leagues often partner with organizations like the USO to coordinate charitable events and other activities that enable professional athletes to carry out their part for the troops and their families. And many athletes are involved in USO tours, veterans programs and similar efforts that support the military; even more go out of their way to note their gratitude to those who serve in the armed forces. Instagram is a treasure trove of photos and video clips that showcase the ways athletes support the troops.
Here are some notable pics of athletes supporting the troops.
