NFL Salute to Service
The NFL is expanding outside the U.S. and planning to have more games overseas which will be a great boost to the quality of life for Veterans and military families plus all the Americans who live overseas. Two home teams have been designated for Frankfurt–The Patriots and The Chiefs. Ahead of the Colts/Patriots game in Frankfurt this season, the NFL hosted a special “tailgate” event with active duty service members at Ramstein Air Base in partnership with USO. NFL Legends and cheerleaders joined fans in the celebration of Veterans Day, ahead of the last international game of 2023.
