Panthers Are First Purple Heart Team

Telling the vets at BoA they can salute during the National Anthem is something I have not seen at the stadiums I've visited.

 

As a Vet, I take advantage of this invitation every home game I attend and more times than not strangers around me let it be known they appreciate the service.  Our fans are very classy.

Very proud we will be the first to wear the Purple Heart on our helmets.

 

KEEP POUNDING.

As someone who is currently serving, I can not be more proud of the football organization that I have loved through thick and thin for almost my entire life. And to be the first in the NFL to make this step just shows how professional the entire organization is from top to bottom.

Recent media attention is nice, but THAT is recognition that actually means something.  True class on both sides here.  Too bad those pre-game activities don't include an adrenaline inducing low level fighter flyover anymore...thanks to that CF in DC, to whom I say, get your act together and work TOGETHER toward the common good of the people, not your own agenda or corporate special interest groups.  Free up some more money for the military and let them thrill us again with demonstrations, getting some great PR in the process, and thereby defend this country more effectively as a result of garnering greater support.  In other words, try making us as proud of you as we are of the men and women who risk their lives daily to serve this great country.  You serve us too you know.

My grandad spent the last few years of his life at the VA home in Salisbury. Every Sunday, all the TV's there were playing football games. A good number of the guys there were lifelong fans of other teams, but all of them have soft spots for the Panthers because of how they try to honor folks in service. Hope they show a little of the ceremony on TV, I know those guys would appreciate it.
