NFL-USO Tour Takes Place in Kuwait; Salute to Service

NEW YORK – April 11, 2025 – Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones and Arizona Cardinals tight end Elijah Higgins recently participated in an NFL-USO Tour, visiting U.S. service members stationed at military bases across Kuwait.

Each year, as part of the NFL’s Salute to Service initiative, the league collaborates with its military charitable partner the USO to bring players overseas to meet and connect with U.S. service members. This unique opportunity provides a chance for NFL players to show appreciation to our nation’s heroes and experience a day in their lives.

During this year’s tour, Aaron Jones and Elijah Higgins visited multiple military bases throughout Kuwait, including Camp Arifjan and Camp Buehring.
