Like many young people, Army veteran Joe Pierstorff answered the call to serve his country shortly after 9/11. But after returning from deployment in Iraq, injuries made the transition back to civilian life hard.

Salute to Service is a year-round effort by the NFL and its long-standing military and veteran support partners to Honor, Empower, and Connect with our nation's military community. Chargers Defensive end Morgan Fox comes from a family with deep roots in the military. And his dad Joe continues his mission now as a civilian with Project Odyssey, a program he credits with giving his life new purpose.
