As we gather with family and friends today, we remember those who are no longer with us � the makers of the game who laid the foundation of today�s NFL and who paid too great a price. We�re thankful for having had them as teammates; for the wives, family and friends who cared for and supported them; and for the efforts of those who are working so diligently to change the culture and make the game safer.
We�re thankful, too, for the support we�ve received from teammates, friends and fans that enables us to continue to advocate for and provide support to retired NFL players. And we�re thankful for the critics, for they�ve made Fourth & Goal � an all-volunteer organization � stronger, wiser, and even more determined. In the words of Margaret Mead, �Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.�
Happy Thanksgiving.
