Freedom is always amplified on Veterans Day. It’s something we should never take for granted. We should be thankful and appreciative to all the brave Men and Women who have served in the Military to protect our freedoms as Americans. 🇺🇸

Big thanks to @UMassFootball@Coach_JimReid for sending me my credentials & shirt from All-American weekend…couldn’t make it for obvious reasons but I can’t wait to get back up there again soon. I know the team isn’t off to the start they wanted but I haven’t lost faith. Be strong and do not give up, your work will be rewarded #ProudAlumAlways #Flagship🚩
