Ben walks out onto the practice field with his friend, Noah Galloway.
"So honored and blessed to have my good friend Noah at training camp these last couple days! It was great to spend some time and talk and share stories with Noah. He spoke to the team tonight and it was awesome – everyone really enjoyed it. We are so blessed to play a game that we love and we owe all the troops all over the world a huge thank you for all your service." –- Ben
As regular readers already know, Noah is no stranger to Ben’s website!
Noah first shared his story with the website in 2012:

He had his photo taken with Ben after the two met in the airport in March of 2012 and shared it on Twitter:
“It’s a great feeling when Roethlisberger introduces himself to you and thanks you for your service. Great guy! It was incredible to have him come up to me…I really appreciated it!â€
Noah had just completed the White Sands Missile Range 23rd Annual Bataan Memorial Death March in New Mexico, and was on his way home to Alabama when he met Ben in the airport. Noah and his team, TEAM X-T.R.E.M.E completed the 26.2 mile march wearing 47lb packs and gas masks.
His photo with Ben was also featured as the website’s Photo of the Week in November during Veterans Day week to coincide with Ben’s Salute to our Troops tribute!
