Pro Football and the American Spirit

America 250 at the Pro Football Hall of Fame honors the players, coaches, and contributors who served the United States during times of military conflict. Located in the Pro Football Today gallery, the exhibit features powerful artifacts tied to World War II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, Desert Storm, 9/11, and the War on Terror. Highlights include Art Donovan’s WWII Marine jacket, Paul Brown’s U.S. Navy jacket, FDNY and NYPD caps worn by NFL teams after 9/11, and Pat Tillman’s Army Rangers jacket—telling stories of sacrifice, service, and the deep connection between football and country.
