RAVENS IN OUR COMMUNITY
“THE MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY ARE GREAT AND SMART MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE SACRIFICING FOR ALL OF US. THEY DESERVE OUR RESPECT, SUPPORT AND, IMPORTANTLY, OUR THANKS EVERY DAY. MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY ARE ALL ABOUT TEAM. THEY HAVE EACH OTHER’S BACKS. THEY INSPIRE US. THEY DEFEND US. THEY PROTECT US. I SALUTE ALL OF THEM.”

On 10/17, prior to the Ravens hosting the Chargers, four Military Jets from the Maryland National Guard flew over M&T Bank Stadium.
SALUTE TO SERVICE
To celebrate the NFL’s Salute to Service (STS) Initiative, throughout the month of November, the Ravens are hosting various events and programs to honor military members and their families. On Nov. 2, the Ravens kicked off their STS efforts by hosting the annual Youth Football and Military Combine. Over 175 pre-registered youth participants competed in the clinic that was created to teach football drills with a military twist. Alongside local coaches, military personnel and Ravens players, attendees rotated through football drills, including pass patterns, tire flips and agility runs. Each participant’s parent/guardian is an active-duty military member or veteran and was informed of the combine from one of over 40 different military organizations across the Baltimore area. Throughout today’s game, the Ravens will be incorporating several Salute to Service elements. At the conclusion of the National Anthem, performed by U.S. Army Herald Trumpets, which will feature a 65x120-foot USA flag held by service members from the Maryland National Guard and Aberdeen Proving Ground, CH-47 Chinook helicopters from the Maryland Army National Guard 29th Combat Aviation Brigade will fly over M&T Bank Stadium. During the game, Veterans of the Wounded Warrior Project will be honored through the Seats for Service program, which will then lead into the 3rd Annual Military/Ravens Legends Flag Football game at halftime.
