TAMPA (SNN-TV) – The Super Bowl is just a few days away, and Rob Gronkowski has awarded a trip to the Super Bowl to a military veteran.
Rob Gronkowski teamed up with USAA, the Official NFL Salute to Service Partner, and the USO, to award Army Sergeant Erik Hanno an experience of a lifetime – a trip to the Super Bowl, along with one guest. USAA will also be coordinating a similar effort with other players around the league.
While serving in Afghanistan, Hanno was wounded by land mines and RPG, which earned him Purple Heart.
Gronk is scheduled to meet with Sergeant Hanno and other military members during Super Bowl weekend.
