Washington Redskins President Bruce Allen remembered fondly how his father, legendary head coach George Allen, would have his teams – in both Los Angeles and Washington – practice in front of military service members throughout the season.
“It is part of the fabric of our country,” Allen told ESPN 980 on Thursday. “We can all learn so much from their leadership and their direction.”
Allen has made it a mission to continue his father’s tradition, the latest example being Thursday, when the Redskins visited Joint Base Andrews for a walkthrough in front of fans, elementary students and plenty of service men and women.
