Redskins to Host Military Appreciation Day

 

The Washington Redskins’ official military appreciation club, Redskins Salute, will host Military Appreciation Day for service members and their families at FedExField this Sunday, July 13 from 12:00 – 4:00 p.m.

The free event will include exclusive giveaways (a free raffle), live entertainment (from Cashless Society), stadium tours and photo opportunities. Current Redskins’ players (fullback) Darrel Young and (rookie linebacker) Trent Murphy will be there as well as several Redskins alumni. The Redskins cheerleaders will perform a military-themed presentation for the crowd.

Other events designed by the team to honor our troops this summer are:

• July – August: Redskins Salute will host service members in a VIP tent during training camp. Times will be announced at a later date.
• August: Redskins Salute host nearly 1,500 military service members in uniform on the Bud Light Party Deck at FedExField as the Redskins host the New England Patriots in their preseason game.
• August 7: Redskins Salute VIP Gameday Hospitality Party invites active duty, former and retired service members to partake in a VIP hospitality party prior to kick-off against the New England Patriots. Limited entry.

Under the leadership of owner Dan Snyder, the Washington Redskins created Redskins Salute to amplify the team’s decade-long military appreciation initiatives into one comprehensive, year-round platform. Launched in partnership with the USO of Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore (USO-Metro), Redskins Salute is a free community providing a platform for fans to serve, support, thank and connect with military service members and their families.

Redskins Salute offers free events and programs designed to address needs in the areas of education, family services, health and wellness and post-service job creation. Eligibility for Redskins Salute includes all active-duty military, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and military veterans, from all branches in the U.S. military, as well as their family members. Eligible service members and their families can join free of charge by visiting www.redskinssalute.com.
