Alabama players honored heroes at the Community Living Center in Tuscaloosa (Ala.) for Veterans Day.

Several Crimson Tide football players gave back to the brave men and women who fight to protect our rights as United States citizens. The players served food to the veterans and signed autographs for them. Names such as Jalen Milroe, Malachi Moore, Will Reichard, Amari Kight, and Jihaad Campbell were featured in a video on Alabama football’s Twitter page. Milroe spoke about the importance of Veterans Day for him. Both of his parents served in the armed forces, and he appreciates them.

Coach Nick Saban enjoys seeing his players pay homage to the community.
