An ESPN reporter caught a photo of a touching moment at Gillette Stadium during the Patriots game this past Sunday. Patriots Long snapper and Navy Lieutenant Joe Cardona was coming back to the field after halftime for his warmup, and noticed an on-field enlistment ceremony for the U.S. Army and Massachusetts National Guard. He then stood at attention to honor them.

Cardona has played 9 seasons with the Patriots after being drafted by them in the 2015 NFL draft. This hearfelt moment is extra appreciated as there aren’t many good things to talk about after Sundays loss to the Washington Commanders!
