The Pentagon is restricting military involvement in the NFL’s Salute to Service weekend due to funding issues caused by the government shutdown.

With the halt in necessary funding, the Department of Defense has limited its participation in the annual event that honors military service members.

This decision impacts various planned activities and collaborations between the military and the NFL during the Salute to Service weekend.

As a result, the traditional military presence and support typically seen at the games may be reduced or altered until funding is restored.
