Fitting that the AP 18th-ranked Army Black Knights are undefeated this college football season, because they absolutely did not miss on this occasion either.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have as illustrious of a franchise history as any team in the NFL, but as part of the league’s Salute to Service initiative, Sunday’s halftime show by Charles Esten highlighted a story that really blew my mind. Esten just debuted his first country studio album Love Ain’t Pretty this January, but you could tell he was thrilled to be able to share a very special collaboration with a certain U.S. Army veteran.
