Memorial Day is a time to reflect for Patriots long snapper Joe Cardona

Memorial Day weekend is upon us, and along with it comes a number of different ways to celebrate.

Many Americans view the weekend as a a ceremonial kickoff to summer, gathering together to cook out on the grill and play some yard games, us football fans know that the weeks surrounding it often go hand in hand with OTAs, but for Joe Cardona it means taking time to reflect and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

This week, Cardona appeared on the Patriot Nation Podcast and spoke about his service and football career, as well as the effort that he and USAA are making to help promote awareness this Memorial Day through PoppyInMemory.
