Robert Griffin III returned to Washington for Memorial Day weekend to visit USAA’s Poppy Wall of Honor on the National Mall, a tribute representing more than 600,000 U.S. service members killed since World War I.
The former NFL quarterback said this year’s exhibit adds family-recorded stories of the fallen, making the memorial more personal and reinforcing his message that those sacrifices must not be forgotten.
Griffin urged Americans enjoying the holiday weekend to pause for a moment of silence, prayer or storytelling, saying Memorial Day is ultimately about service members who gave their lives, not the celebrations themselves.
The son of two Army veterans, Griffin said military values such as discipline, respect and perseverance shaped his life and football career, calling service members "the best of us."
