New England Patriots will honor hundreds of veterans during annual Salute to Service game on Sunday

The New England Patriots and the Kraft family will honor hundreds of veterans and active military members as part of the team’s annual Salute to Service game on Sunday when they host the Indianapolis Colts at Gillette Stadium.

During Sunday’s game, players will be wearing a memorial sticker of a fallen patriot on their helmets as the team honors five T.A.P.S. families (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors).

Among the players and fans, three generals will be in attendance, including two Joint Chiefs of Staff, dozens of officers, and more than 150 future guardsmen, sailors, and soldiers who will be enlisted on the field prior to the game.
