The veteran who refuses to let anyone face their darkest day alone
Courage. Integrity. Commitment. Honesty. Respect. Those are the core values of those enshrined in Canton. But football isn't the only field to find them in. Through its Award of Character, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in partnership with USA TODAY, honors teachers, nurses, coaches, firefighters, police officers and veterans whose impact strengthens communities and changes lives. This month's honoree is Luis Martinez III, a veteran service officer whose simple philosophy has guided years of service to fellow veterans: protect your country when called on and protect your community always. Luis Martinez was taken aback when he saw Hall of Famer Kevin Mawae and Brittney Payton, daughter of Pro Football Hall of Famer Walter Payton, at the Veteran's Council facility in San Angelo, Texas. But it quickly became clear to Martinez that the pair had conspired with his colleagues to surprise the Air Force veteran with a unique honor for a local service provider. Mawae, who is a self-described 'military brat', whose father served 24 years in the Army, recalled a quote about service as he prepared to present Martinez with the honor. "'You join to serve your country and then when you're done, you serve your community,'" Mawae said
