Bears/Boeing Military Salute

The Bears are proud to annually partner with Boeing to present the Bears/Boeing Military Salute. At each Bears home game, a deserving member of the military will be honored during an on-field recognition during the third quarter. The Military Salute provides the opportunity for the Bears, Boeing and our great fans to give thanks and show support to those who protect our country and to also honor the history and heritage of Soldier Field. Tickets for the military representative and their guests are generously provided by linebacker Brian Urlacher and his participation in the Bears "Home Team Hand-Off" ticket donation program.

Wounded Warrior Project

More than 48,000 servicemen and women have been physically injured at war while many more have been wounded in spirit. It is estimated that approximately 400,000 veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or major depression, but only half will seek treatment. Wounded Warrior Project's mission is to honor and empower these Wounded Warriors through unique, direct programs and services to meet their needs and make this the most successful, well-adjusted generation of veterans in our nation's history.
