Chiefs Military Mission Presented by G.E.H.A
Monday night's game will promote Chiefs Military Mission presented by G.E.H.A in conjunction with the NFL's Salute to Service initiative. Since its launch in 2011, Salute to Service has been the NFL's year-long commitment to honor those who serve and sacrifice as members of the United States military. In partnership with a variety of organizations, including the Bob Woodruff Foundation (BWF), Pat Tillman Foundation (PTF), Tragedy Assistance Programs for Survivors (TAPS), United Service Organizations (USO), and Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), Salute to Service has raised more than $75 million since its inception.
