Service Salutes
Chicago sports teams have shown their support for our service men and woman through a variety of programs, but none have gotten the fans on their feet more than the Service Salutes program. Over 1,000 veterans and currently serving military have been honored on the ice, third base line or end zone through partnerships with professional sports teams like the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears.
