Raytheon hosted 150 veterans from Wounded Warrior Project and Student Veterans of America as part of the company's month-long "Salute to Service." Prior to kickoff, guests toured The Hall at Patriot Place presented by Raytheon.

Unfortunately, due to high winds, the pre-game ceremony with a field-sized American flag had to be cancelled. The 150 veterans and active military members, including Raytheon guests from Wounded Warriors and Student Veterans of America, who were scheduled to hold the flag were still part of the on-field pregame ceremony.
