Bucs' appreciation for military shown

TAMPA — The Bucs hosted military personnel, their families and veterans at training camp Friday and began practice with an emotion-stirring trumpet performance of the national anthem before a flag guard of wounded veterans.

"It was awesome, man," said WR Vincent Jackson, whose Jacksoninaction83 foundation assists military families. "Having a day dedicated to these service men and women and their families, then to come out here and having the color guard of veterans, it was beautiful. I think a lot of guys paid reverence to it and I like the way the young guys respected it.
