Arrr, me mateys! In the jolly 124th chapter of the Battle betwixt Army and Navy, set sail in New England, Patriots' legend, Rob Gronkowski, bequeathed two fine veterans with shipshape vessels, made from recycled treasures, courtesy of USAA. Yo ho ho, what a grand gesture, indeed!
The 124th Army-Navy college football game is set to take place in New England for the first time, and former Patriots player Rob Gronkowski thinks it's the perfect location. Gronkowski is using the game as an opportunity to give back to military veterans. He partnered with USAA, the sponsor of the Army-Navy Game and the NFL's official "Salute to Service" partner, to give away two National Auto Body Council Recycled Rides to deserving families of military veterans.Army Sgt. Robert Trevino will receive a retrofitted 2022 Chevy Silverado, while Navy Petty Officer Kyle Kohlgraf and Alexandria Torres Schroeder will receive a 2019 Chevy Blazer. Gronkowski expressed his gratitude for being included in the giveaways and loves seeing the reactions of the recipients.
This is not the first time Gronkowski has helped USAA give away vehicles to deserving veterans, but it is the first time he's doing so with the Army-Navy game taking place in his backyard. Gronkowski's appreciation for the military and veterans has grown during his time with the Patriots, thanks in part to team owner Robert Kraft's support for the military.
Gronkowski believes the game represents the nation and the military well, and he is excited to see the two branches of the military compete on the same field he once played on. He emphasizes the camaraderie and respect that has been showcased throughout the game's history. The Army-Navy game holds significance in Boston, a city with a rich history in the American Revolution. USAA has incorporated this historical connection by unveiling a 374-pound bag of tea, sourced from veteran-owned small businesses, which will be displayed and donated to the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. Overall, Gronkowski is thrilled to be a part of this celebrated event and to give back to the military community.
