ST. LOUIS (AP) — Paying homage on Veterans Day, St. Louis Rams players and coaches kneeled in silence at the end of practice Wednesday.
Coach Steve Spagnuolo opened his post-practice remarks with an explanation, saying it was the team's way of thanking veterans past and present for service to their country. He noted it was a beautiful day, and a good day to remember.
Safety Oshiomoghe Atogwe led the prayer. The gesture hit home for defensive end Leonard Little, whose older brother Lamont Hughes is an engineer stationed in Iraq.
Quarterback Marc Bulger participated recently in USO renovation at Lambert Airport, saying he did it for people he admired and appreciated.
