Salute to Service, NFL-Style

Tampa Bay, Fla.

Tampa Bay's beloved Buccaneers take part in the NFL's Salute to Service program, a year-round effort to honor, empower and connect with servicemembers, veterans and their families. In November 2018, to celebrate Veterans Day, Tampa Bay touted its 2018 recognition as a Great American Defense Community during halftime at the annual Salute to Service game.

More than 200 military members and their families enjoyed the game from exclusive seats at Raymond James Stadium, including a pre-game flyover and MacDill Air Force Base airmen leading the Bucs out of the tunnel.
