NFL community reflects on Memorial Day

Published: May 26, 2014 at 08:02 AM

On Memorial Day, we remember and reflect on the men and women who died while serving our country, making the ultimate sacrifice. NFL teams and players took the time Monday to commemorate those who died and thank those who gave their lives for our freedom.

If you should happen to come across a Vet today, you make sure you shake his or her hand, and thank them for their service.
