Tom Brady sent a great message Monday to honor the “real heroes” he said that make it possible for him and others to play the game of football.

“Football can seem very important around here, which makes days like today, where we honor all the service men and women who selflessly defend our freedom and rights, even more important,” the 42-year-old New England Patriots QB wrote on Instagram, along with a great shot of those serving our country, though it is unclear just who’s in the picture and how long ago it was taken.
