**Salute to Service Moment, presented by USAA:** During a special in-game Salute to Service moment, the team will recognize 104-year-old United States Navy Veteran, Second Petty Officer Hank Lazzar. Born in Seattle in 1921, he graduated from Highline High School in 1940 and enlisted in the Navy in 1943 at the age of 19. On his way to training in San Diego, he met his future wife, Virginia, on a Greyhound bus. They married less than a year later before Hank was deployed overseas to the Philippines during World War II. Following his service, Hank and Virginia raised four children and shared 69 years together until Virginia's passing in 2000. Today, at 104 years old, Hank continues to volunteer at the Federal Way Food Bank, where he has served for 30 years.
**Halftime:** **Recognizing 50 years since the Vietnam War ended**, the Seahawks will honor those who served and lost their lives. One Veteran from each branch that served during the Vietnam War will be recognized in a ceremony at halftime that will include a TAPS performance and the singing of God Bless America.
**Salute to Service Donations**: Throughout the month of November, 12% of official Seahawks Salute to Service merchandise sales at Seahawks Pro Shops will benefit **[Stronger Families](https://strongerfamilies.com/).** Stronger Families serves those who serve our country through relationship building while offering hope and tools to strengthen their family units. They believe our military and first responders are our national and local heroes and look to empower and support then while they serve and long after.
**Military Challenge Coin:** Prior to kickoff, the Seahawks will also present a special military challenge coin, designed and created by USAA, for use in the official coin toss. In what has become a long-standing tradition, challenge coins are given by one member of the military to another to reward or encourage excellence, boost morale, or to recognize a fellow brother- or sister-in-arms.
The Seahawks have enjoyed a long-standing partnership with USAA on military-related events throughout the year. On gameday and beyond, supporting the military community is one of the Seahawks' key community engagement pillars. The Seahawks commit to engage, support, and celebrate members of the military community including service members, veterans, families, and non-profit organizations in our local community through a variety of programs, recognitions, and events throughout the year.
