HE COULDN’T HOLD IT IN — Jason Kelce fights back tears during a heartfelt ESPN moment before Monday Night Football, leaving fans deeply moved by his raw emotion.

Veterans Day is typically a celebration of America’s military service members and not strictly aimed at honoring those heroes who were killed in action.

But ahead of the Monday Night Football showdown between the Green Bay Packers and visiting Philadelphia Eagles, ESPN analyst Jason Kelce managed to do both in a touching segment about the grandfather a former teammate.

Third-year Eagles guard Tyler Steen happens to be the grandson of Sgt. Rodney M. Davis, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 1967 after jumping on a grenade in Vietnam to save the lives of his fellow Marines.

‘He saved five other soldiers on that day,’ a tearful Kelce said following the segment. ‘Those soldiers went on to have kids.’

Stopping to regather himself, Kelce continued: ‘Probably 50 people [are] alive today because of that decision.’

A father to four young daughters, Kelce spoke about the sacrifice Davis made as a platoon guide with with Company B, First Battalion in the First Marine Division on September 6, 1967.

‘He did that, leaving behind a two-year-old little girl… You know, as Veteran’s Day approaches, it’s a reminder the sacrifice that a lot of people put out there every day so we can sit at this desk and enjoy this game,’ Kelce continued after getting a pat on the back from co-host, Marcus Spears.

‘It’s truly a remarkable story about a very selfless man. Tyler Steen gets to honor him and his entire family tonight. It’s a testament to their whole family.’

Then-president Richard Nixon released a citation for Davis as the Marine was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.

‘Disregarding the enemy hand grenades and high volume of small arms and mortar fire, Sergeant Davis moved from man to man shouting words of encouragement to each of them firing and throwing grenades at the onrushing enemy,’ read the citation.

BREAKING NEWS Oprah tweeted: “I’ve watched Candace Owens rise in the media, and I must admit—her impact isn’t uplifting, it’s exhausting. She doesn’t build bridges; she sets them on fire. I spent decades creating conversations that healed, uplifted, and unified, while Candace profits from chaos, division, and viral soundbites for all the wrong reasons. Volume is not wisdom. She may dominate headlines today, but history remembers who actually made a difference. Leadership isn’t claimed through controversy—it’s earned through legacy.” Full story in the comment
