Jarvis Landry awards Super Bowl trip to Vietnam War veteran - cleveland.com
https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2020/01...ar-veteran.html

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Jarvis Landry is teaming up with USAA and Together We Served to provide a Super Bowl trip for Vietnam War veteran George Reilly and a guest as part of the NFL’s Salute to Service program.

Reilly, a corporal in the U.S. Marines from 1960-64, was deployed to Da Nang, Vietnam in 1963 and served with a variety of helicopter squadrons. He later joined the NYPD and retired as a detective.

Landry posted photos of Reilly on his Twitter account.

Landry is scheduled to meet with Reilly, a Giants fan, at the USAA’s Salute to Service Lounge during Super Bowl weekend in Miami. Reilly’s son, George Reilly Jr., a sergeant in the Marines, is also expected to attend.

“With the help of USAA and Together We Served, it’s an honor to award a trip to the Super Bowl to Corporal Reilly and his son, Sergeant Reilly,” Landry said. “As a country, we are grateful to military veterans like the Reillys, who I am very much looking forward to meeting in Miami at the Super Bowl.”

Well done Jarvis

You do something like this, you have Clemmy as a fan.
