With Veterans Day just over a week away, the Philadelphia Eagles invited Gold Star Families to The Linc for a special night of video games and fun.
Gold Star Gamers Night, part of the NFL's Salute to Service week, saw Eagles' players like Brandon Graham spend time with families of fallen military service members.
The event meant a lot to those in attendance, like the family of Sgt. Bill Pascal from South Jersey who was killed 16 years ago leaving behind a wife and two kids. William Pascal described Salute to Service week as "a very emotional week" for his mother and their family.
