Falcons Visit U.S. Service Members in Japan | Atlanta Falcons News
Atlanta Falcons stars Jessie Bates III, Zach Harrison, and Jalon Walker, alongside legend John Abraham, just wrapped a powerful week-long tour of Japan—connecting with U.S. service members at three key bases, including Iwakuni and Camp Zama. As part of the NFL’s Salute to Service initiative with the USO, they hosted youth clinics, led skills challenges, and shared heartfelt moments that reminded troops they’re never alone. Harrison called it “hanging out with old friends,” underscoring deep respect for those serving far from home. This year marks 60 years of the NFL and USO partnership—dating back to 1966 when the NFL became the first pro league to send players overseas. Since then, hundreds of NFL figures have reached hundreds of thousands of service members across nearly 30 countries. Beyond tours, the NFL is also helping renovate and expand USO centers—and even bringing them aboard Navy ships—to keep the military community connected, honored, and supported.
