Zac MacMath and Dillon Serna have been recognized for their selflessness both on and off the pitch, but after partnering with Coca-Cola to visit active duty service members and their families they say they are humbled by the real-life sacrifices of the United States military men and women.
Last week, MacMath, Serna and Rapids' alumni Bobby Burling took a trip to Rocky Mountain United Service Organization (USO) at Fort Carson to conduct an afternoon of soccer clinics with over 50 military children ranging from 8-12 years old.
"A lot of (USO) kids have mom or dads that are deployed, so this was a cool opportunity for them to get out and meet someone famous," USO Fort Carson's Center Operations Supervisor Katie Kerry said.
