Ravens honor military families on Memorial Day

The Baltimore Ravens teamed up with Flags of Valor and Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors to honor military families

Memorial Day is the annual holiday that honors the United States military personnel who died while serving the country. The last Monday in May is used to reflect on the Americans who made sacrifices for freedom in the country.

The Baltimore Ravens and head coach John Harbaugh on Monday honored military families for Memorial Day. Baltimore teamed up with the Flags of Valor and Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors. The families created a personalized wooden American Flag to honor the fallen service member in their family.

Players in attendance for the Memorial Day event included tight end Mark Andrews, outside linebacker Daelin Hayes and cornerback Marlon Humphrey. Andrews acknowledged that those who have served in the U.S. military for the country to have its freedom is one of the most important things to do.

“People that have served and you know given their lives for us and for us to have our freedom you know that’s one of the biggest things you can do, and there’s a lot of that in Baltimore, a lot of people have served in Baltimore and just thinking about them and everybody else who has served in the U.S.”
