00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.220
back on good morning football salute to service is a

00:00:02.220 --> 00:00:05.660
year round effort by the NFL and its longstanding military

00:00:05.660 --> 00:00:08.560
and veteran support partners to honor and power and connect

00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:12.050
with our nation's military community. Learn about the NFL's

00:00:12.050 --> 00:00:14.859
impact, worked with its salute to service partners by

00:00:14.859 --> 00:00:20.089
visiting NFL dot com slash salut back in the United

00:00:20.089 --> 00:00:22.649
States. It's Veterans Day, an opportunity for us

00:00:22.649 --> 00:00:25.609
to commemorate those we should celebrate all year round the

00:00:25.609 --> 00:00:28.660
women and men who have courageously served our country throughout

00:00:28.670 --> 00:00:31.739
the years. Two days ago here in Germany Seahawks

00:00:31.739 --> 00:00:34.619
legend Shaun alexander and Bucks legend Mike Alstott led a

00:00:34.619 --> 00:00:38.170
training camp for military members stationed at U. S

00:00:38.179 --> 00:00:41.469
Army base, Garrison bavaria for an event co sponsored

00:00:41.469 --> 00:00:44.899
by the NFL and U S. A. I've

00:00:44.899 --> 00:00:47.240
had the career blessing to be on the sideline for

00:00:47.250 --> 00:00:50.799
four Army Navy games, a rivalry that blends football

00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:55.390
, service and patriotism into one beautiful day of competition

00:00:55.390 --> 00:00:58.509
. Seeing the NFL work with current military members here

00:00:58.509 --> 00:01:00.719
in Germany this week it got us thinking about Roger

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.189
Staubach, a veteran who put his country first before

00:01:03.189 --> 00:01:07.099
he tasted NFL gridiron glory. Saw back attended the

00:01:07.099 --> 00:01:11.500
US Naval Academy and won the Heisman Trophy in 1963

00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.129
. The cowboys loved what they saw out of this

00:01:15.129 --> 00:01:18.290
young midshipman and selected him in the 1964 NFL draft

00:01:18.290 --> 00:01:22.489
despite knowing Starbuck had a mandatory military obligation to fulfill

00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.200
After graduating from the Naval Academy in 65 Starbucks served

00:01:26.209 --> 00:01:30.049
in Vietnam where he supervised a troop of enlisted soldiers

00:01:30.069 --> 00:01:33.280
. Six years later, she became the starting quarterback

00:01:33.290 --> 00:01:36.469
for the Dallas cowboys and the rest is the history

00:01:36.469 --> 00:01:38.260
that you know and love. The cowboys would win

00:01:38.260 --> 00:01:40.579
two Super bowls with start back at the helm and

00:01:40.579 --> 00:01:44.329
appear in three more. Starbuck was inducted into the

00:01:44.329 --> 00:01:47.400
Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985. So today

00:01:47.409 --> 00:01:49.099
, on this Veterans day we salute Roger Staubach,

00:01:49.109 --> 00:01:53.900
the women and men at Garrison bavaria and all U

00:01:53.900 --> 00:01:56.090
. S. Military members both past and present.

00:01:56.299 --> 00:01:57.459
Thank you for your service.
