History Brings Veterans To Super Bowl

HISTORY is pleased to announce the kickoff of its 2014 “Mission to Honor” campaign by hosting 40 veterans at the NFL Super Bowl XLVIII.  Members of veterans service groups Team Rubicon and The Mission Continues will attend as official guests to help launch HISTORY’S annual nationwide, multi-platform “Mission to Honor” public affairs campaign to recognize American veterans. A+E Networks, which includes HISTORY in its portfolio and is a host sponsor of NFL Super Bowl XLVIII, has a long-standing commitment to veterans and military families.

Team Rubicon (teamrubiconusa.rog), a veterans service organization that deploys veteran volunteers to disaster areas for emergency assistance; and The Mission Continues (missioncontinues.org), a veteran “redeployment” non-profit that organizes fellowship programs and veterans Service Platoons, will each receive 20 tickets to the big game.  Their selfless acts in the global community embody the spirit of HISTORY’s “Mission to Honor” initiative and HISTORY is thrilled to have them attend the Super Bowl this Sunday to honor this group of veterans and their commitment to service.

"HISTORY is proud to host our esteemed veterans in America's biggest city for America's biggest game," said Nancy Dubuc, President and CEO, A+E Networks. "As citizens of this country, members of Team Rubicon and Mission Continues gave up some of the best years of their lives to defend our freedom and they’ve made an ongoing commitment to give back to others through their volunteer work. We think a trip the Super Bowl only scratches the surface of gratitude our nation feels for them. Whether you're a Bronco or a Seahawk, we can all stand up and cheer for the Red, White, and Blue."
