Indianapolis Colts cornerback Kenny Moore was awestruck by the conditions military members must battle in Alaska. And by their resolve and resourcefulness — things any pro athlete can identify with.
In a photo provided by the NFL, Indianapolis Colts' Kenny Moore smiles near Fairbanks, Alaska, April 5, 2022, during the 2022 NFL-USO Tour. Moore was awestruck by the conditions military members must battle. And by their resolve and resourcefulness — things any pro athlete can identify with.
Joined by Broncos tight end Andrew Beck and Browns running back Demetric Felton Jr., Moore was awestruck by the conditions military members must battle. And by their resolve and resourcefulness — things any pro athlete can identify with. Speaking with personnel at the various bases in Alaska was moving, as was a virtual meeting with military members in Europe.
Other, uh, highlights on the trip were mission briefings, participating in K-9 exercises — Beck and Fulton wore protective jackets and let the dogs chase them — and a football clinic with military personnel and their families. In this photo provided by the NFL, Denver Broncos' Andrew Beck goes ice-fishing as part of an outdoor excursion with service members at Fort Greely, Alaska, as part of the 2022 NFL-USO Tour, April 7, 2022. Beck, who won the 2021 USAA Salute to Service award the NFL gives out annually, comes from a military family, so he feels a close connection to the armed forces.
