Staff Sergeant Jonathan McLaughlin leads NFL’s Seattle Seahawks onto the field on Monday Night Football

SEATTLE- Seattle’s game against the Bills on Monday Night Football hosted more than 200 service members, including some that were involved in game day activities. Hometown hero Special Forces Staff Sergeant Jonathan A. McLaughlin led the Seahawks onto the field through the tunnel carrying the United States flag Nov. 7. The Seattle Seahawks honored every branch of the military in pre-game festivities saluting our troops. More should be said about McLaughlin and his sacrifice for his country, but at this time his full story will not be told as he is returning to service following injuries suffered overseas. Needles to say Jon’s story has meant a lot to many people around the area, and has been met with overwhelming support for him and his family. The SK Cobras honored McLaughlin before their road game at Pekin to open the season by carrying McLaughlin’s jersey baring his number 44 out onto the field. After the game both teams posed for a photo with his uniform. Also, at another road game, the Regina Regals honored McLaughlin for his service and offered a prayer for his situation.
