Wentz, Watt among NFLers to honor soldiers on Memorial Day
Here's how NFL players and teams recognized Memorial Day - one of the most patriotic days of the year in the United States - on social media Monday:
Freedom sometimes comes at a cost. Today, I just want to thank all of the brave men & women who have sacrificed so much to provide us w/ the freedoms we have in this country. Its often taken for granted and y’all don’t get the recognition you deserve. So thank you & God bless! pic.twitter.com/UhbemUxUUC

Those who put their lives on the line knowing they may not make it back home, yet still continuing down the path to protect this great country and in the end making the ultimate sacrifice in service of their fellow American.

We honor the sacrifice of those, like Spc. Toccara R. Green, 23 yrs old, killed in Al Asad, Iraq, who gave her life to protect our ideals, our democracy & our constitution. Today, we remember all of our fallen service men and women and their families. Thank you! #MemorialDay2018 pic.twitter.com/G0mHuvUuJD

As we remember our slain service men and women today, pray God's blessing, comfort, and peace on their families as they continue to grieve. Our freedom is not without sacrifice. Our debt is one we can not repay. #MemorialDay 🇺🇸
