In addition to memorializing the veterans who lose their lives while serving abroad, former NFL player Chris Doleman wants us to remember the veterans who make it back home safely. Doleman, who played in the NFL from 1985-1999, wants us to remember the 22 veterans who take their own lives every day.
That's why Doleman, along with Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith, teamed up with Remember the 22 to help the veterans who do make it back home.
"Remember the 22 is an opportunity now," Doleman said. "Our goals are being able to get guys out of their homes, get them into things they enjoy. It's more of the camaraderie."
For Smith, the No. 22 is more to him than just the number that was plastered on his jersey. As Smith puts it, the number "takes on a whole new meaning." "The one thing I absolutely love about our sport is, it's all about teamwork," Smith said. "And it's the same for our veterans as well."
You can watch the full video above, in which Doleman, Smith, and veterans speak about the Remember the 22 cause.
