Donnie Edwards: NFL Star and Philanthropist

Today's guest on Danger Close is Donnie Edwards. Donnie Edwards spent 13 years as a linebacker in the NFL and is one of only eight players in the history of the league to have more than 20 interceptions and 20 sacks during his career. Inspired by stories from his grandfather, a Pearl Harbor survivor, and a life-changing conversation with a WWII veteran, Donnie founded the Best Defense Foundation in 2018 with the mission of “Taking Care of the Ones Who Took Care of Us.” The foundation honors and celebrates our veterans from past conflicts including WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Through the foundation’s Battlefield Return program, more than 100 WWII veterans have been able to remember their fallen comrades and gain closure returning to the battlefields on which they fought: Normandy, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Pearl Harbor, Iwo Jima, Guam, Saipan and Tinian. The Best Defense Foundation is also focused on educating future generations about the heroism and sacrifices of those who served through the preservation of their first-hand accounts, recording interviews with over 200 WWII combat veterans. You can follow Donnie on Instagram @donnie_edwards and you can learn more about his work @bestdefensefoundation. Presented by SIG Sauer.
