Like so many of his colleagues, Jones sees the importance in setting a good example to kids. “That event was so impactful because it gave me an opportunity to praise those guys that go out there and fight for our country every day,” Jones said. Sponsored by the USAA and NFL, the event saw players from the league meet, sign autographs, and take photos with Purple Heart recipients and combat-wounded soldiers. “A big part of what’s so great about America is the men and women who sacrifice daily, so we can live our lives and feel safe,” Jones said in 2013 while taking part in a Wounded Warrior luncheon. Jones isn’t, nor has he ever been, in the military but he proudly supports the men and women who serve the United States in uniform.
