USAA and the Seattle Seahawks Join Forces to Salute the Nation’s Military

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--USAA, a leading insurance provider to the military community, is now the “Official Military Appreciation Sponsor” for the Seattle Seahawks. In 2011, USAA became the first-ever Official Military Appreciation Sponsor of the NFL.

These efforts will culminate at the November 11 game versus the New York Jets during the NFL-wide Salute to Service initiative taking place November 8-19.

“This sponsorship focuses on USAA and the Seahawks combining our efforts to honor and thank our military heroes,” said USAA executive director of marketing Don Clark. “We’re excited about Seahawks fans joining us throughout the season to salute current and former military members and their families.”
