The Denver Broncos continued their long history of honoring veterans and active-duty members of the military with their annual Salute to Service game Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The game was presented by USAA.
Leading up to the game that honored hundreds of military guests, the Broncos visited with active service men and women around the Denver area. Here are some of the activities that took place:
1. Broncos visit Fort Carson on USAA Broncos Caravan
