Since 2003, the National Football League (NFL) has recognized and thanked those serving their nation through the Salute to Service initiative. Randi Mahomes – mother of NFL star Patrick Mahomes – shares this sentiment of appreciation towards those serving. Having personally experienced how important it is to honor those dedicating themselves to our military forces.
Randi recently took to social media to show her appreciation towards veterans by wearing Salute to Service merchandise she received as part of an international charity initiative, Salute to Service. Her post made it abundantly clear: the liberties enjoyed by every citizen are protected through the continuous effort and sacrifice made by members of our armed forces, so her message to all service members was clear; every time she proudly donned her gear from Salute to Service she would be reminded of all those who made great efforts and sacrifices so we may enjoy freedoms we take for granted every day.” Randi said this publicly thanksing those who served by wearing gear bearing their names – reminding herself as she proudly donned my Salute to Service gear to reminding herself about all that sacrifice made so well done to protect our freedom!
Randi Mahomes’ statement comes at a time of national division over Michael Strahan’s remarks regarding the National Anthem, fuelling ongoing discussions regarding patriotism and respect for military service members. Her message serves as an unifying tribute to all those who risk their lives to protect our freedoms and ensure safety for everyone in America.
