Brady Christensen, Guard

Throughout his five-year NFL career, Carolina Panthers guard Brady Christensen has remained deeply committed to honoring, empowering, and connecting with the military community. His respect for service members is rooted in a lifelong admiration shaped by his family's legacy. Both of his grandfathers served bravely in World War II and the Vietnam War. Their stories inspired Brady with a profound sense of duty to give back to those who have worn the uniform.

Brady's impact is felt year after year. He honors veterans through his partnership with Veterans Bridge Home, supporting local heroes during physical therapy sessions at Veterans Park. He empowers active-duty service members by teaming up with the USO of North Carolina, offering encouragement and support at the Charlotte Douglas Airport USO center as troops transition between assignments. Additionally, he connects with the military community through events like the Oorah Hooah 7-on-7 football tournament and other military-focused initiatives, fostering camaraderie and appreciation through sport and service.
