“on this Veterans Day I recognize a military public awareness initiative that Mr. K. S., Bud, Adams, the founder and owner of our NFL Tennessee Titans, played a strong role in instituting this past weekend. Mr. Adams, a U.S. Naval Officer during World War II, and five other National Football League owners who also served in the military during that same time, urged NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue to launch this campaign to help the hundreds of American families of our brave military servicemen and women who have died for our country in the line of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq. Mr. Adams and his fellow NFL owners urged NFL headquarters to initiate an awareness campaign at NFL stadiums and on NFL game telecasts starting Veterans Day Weekend, November 9-11, to help bring attention to the difficult financial situation that our military dependents face in the days and weeks immediately after a serviceman's or woman's death in the Middle East.”
