**Tyler Steen meets the family of people his grandfather saved in Vietnam**
After Tuesday's practice, Tyler Steen had a special moment with three people who have a unique connection to his family.
Steen's grandfather, Rodney M. Davis, posthumously earned the Medal of Honor for jumping on a grenade to save the lives of those in his battalion during the Vietnam War. At practice, a widow (Kitty Leedom) and son (Greg) of someone Sergeant Davis saved and the widow (Beth Dougherty) of the commander in the battalion next to his all took in the scene at the NovaCare Complex, and after the session they had a chance to sit down with Steen.
For the third-year offensive lineman, speaking with people who his grandfather directly impacted was a unique moment.
"It's pretty incredible," Steen said. "This is something that we've been trying to set up for a while, and just over the years, just meeting people that my grandfather was able to impact has been pretty cool."
Steen said he had actually met that group of people before, back when he was a little kid, but this was his first opportunity to really get to speak with them.
It was a heartfelt experience for Steen, who reflected on what it means to know how much his grandfather's actions have affected other people.
"Just knowing how selfless he was, it really gives you something to be really prideful of, but also something that you know is kind of like an expectation that he set," Steen said. "Just kind of how you got to go about your everyday life, and how precious it is and taking advantage of the opportunities, and things like that."
