Chiefs plan multiple ‘Salute to Service’ activities for Sunday’s game vs. Cowboys
Sunday’s contest against the Cowboys at Arrowhead Stadium will be the Chiefs’ “Salute to Service” game, and they have found perhaps the perfect former player to serve as the drum honoree.
Fullback Anthony Sherman, who retired after last season, will bang the drum instead of working with the Chiefs.
What makes Sherman the ideal fit to be drum leader before the Salute To Service game. Well, look back at his patriotic outfit at training camp in 2018.
As part of the “Salute To Service” game, the Chiefs have planned a pregame flyover of four A-10 Thunderbolts from Whiteman Air Force Base, the national anthem will be sung by U.S. Navy Master Sergeant Robert Carter and the Missouri National Guard will present the colors.
At halftime, 30 military members will take part in a reenlistment ceremony and country singer Casi Joy will perform “God Bless America.”
