## Resource

Aaron Jones, Minnesota Vikings running back and proud military kid, teamed up with the United Heroes League to gift 500 new shoes to children of service members — a simple act that builds confidence and bridges connection for kids navigating frequent moves. Drawing from his own upbringing with Army Sergeant Major parents, Jones knows firsthand how vital small comforts are during life’s transitions. His military roots shaped his resilience and adaptability — even missing a year of football when his parents were deployed — skills that propelled him to NFL stardom. Through USO tours and shared stories with fellow players, he’s found deep kinship in the military community. This shoe drive is just one way the United Heroes League supports military kids, ensuring they’re equipped to thrive — both on the field and in life.
